Polish scientists recently discovered a liquid that has bullet proofing capabilities. The liquid is called Shear-Thickening Fluid or STF. The liquid has high deflection capabilities that when something hits the STF it hardens and turns into solid state, hardening upon impact.
To find out how it works, watch here:
As body armor it is comparably lighter and safer compared to Kevlar and its liquid property also allows normal range of motion. The liquid also has potential use for sports wears, car bumpers, and road barriers.
While I may not be interested about using it as bullet proof vest, the idea of it being used on car bumpers sounds like it will contribute a lot to safer cars and less critical road accidents.
