TetsuoShima Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hmm, interesting, though I'm willing to bet that it's a lot more complicated that they make it sound. I'd like to see some demonstrations though. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcant Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 It reminds me a bit of those personal shields in Dune, where you have to stab people slowly, bet someone invents a bullet with a proximity sensor that slows down just before the point of impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Shear thickening fluids have been around for a while, most notably in shock absorbers. It's nice to see that they're getting more use in other applications. What's more important, though... is that article shows that some news sources quote their sources. ^^ It's pretty sad when that's the exception rather than the rule.
