Bulletproof metal foam could make military vehicles lighter and more efficient

Armored vehicles could benefit from a new bulletproof metal foam developed at North Carolina State University

How do you stop bullets using the lightest material possible? This question has inspired a string of fascinating breakthroughs from material scientists in pursuit of advanced lightweight armor that keeps foot soldiers agile and vehicles light. Yet another comes from researchers at North Carolina State University, who have developed a new type of bulletproof material comparable in performance to conventional armor, at just half the weight.
