This metal foam can turn speeding bullets into dust

Scientists have developed a lightweight metal foam which can turn speeding armour-piercing bullets into dust in the blink of an eye.

The revolutionary material has applications in a number of areas, from the battlefield to space exploration and nuclear waste storage.

Afsaneh Rabiei, mechanical and aerospace engineering professor at North Carolina State University, has spent her career working on composite metal foams, or CMFs. …

Tattoo-like 'e-skin' turns your body into digital screen

In a yet another example to integrate electronic devices with the human body, researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed an ultrathin, protective layer that will help create “electronic skin” displays of blood oxygen level, e-skin heart rate sensors for athletes and other applications.

The team demonstrated its use by creating an air-stable, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. Integrating electronic devices with the human body to enhance or restore body function for biomedical applications is the goal of researchers around the world. Wearable electronics, in particular, need to be thin and flexible to minimise impact where they attach to the body. However, most devices developed so far have required millimetre-scale thickness glass or plastic substrates with limited flexibility, while micrometer-scale thin flexible organic devices have not been stable enough to survive in air.
