A US team allows microbes to make synthetic muscle fibers stronger than Kevlar. We will have clothes and protections made of muscles.
Tiny geometric carbon structures are so compact together that they absorb impacts (and bullets) much better than Kevlar.

Shootings are on the increase and new lethal weapons are arriving in the commercial circuits. But in the USA, politicians and gun lobbies continue to gloss over the problem
Aptera, our favorite solar-charging car (also because it's the only one at the moment), also adds a "camping" option. What do you think?
Rice University “spins” carbon nanotubes onto a tight mesh, transforming it into a formidable “diagnostic” piece of clothing.
Aptera, a surprising prototype with incredible performance, is ready to accept the first orders for the final production version.
A small journey into the fantastic world of the future seen from the eyes, or rather from the headlights of the 80s concept cars, between excesses and surprising intuitions.
Spinlaunch does not involve large tanks and complicated launches, but a centrifuge that brings the rocket to crazy speed and "releases" it like a shot put thrower.
