Liquid Body Armor
Posted by Brian in Body Armor, News, Warriors on 13/Apr/2012 13:31
From Guns.com:
The next generation of body armor might be liquid. Both BAE Systems and the Army Research Laboratories along with the University of Delaware are working on turning shear-thickening fluids (STF) into body armor. The concept of using the non-Newtonian fluids as a means to enhance armor while staying flexible at other times is not new but actually putting it into action is a separate and more difficult problem.
Directed Energy Weapons
The Navy is putting a lot of money into research and development of laser weapons. What was science fiction 20 years ago should be reality in another 10-15 years.
From Wired’s Danger Room:
The Navy is increasingly excited about building a superpowerful laser to shoot down missiles and rockets that might attack its ships. But don’t expect the long-planned Free Electron Laser weapon to replace the guns the Navy stations on its ships — or to be shipboard for years. And definitely expect the laser to do more than just zap stuff out of the sky.
Soldiers work with Scientists towards Solving Bee Die-Off Mystery
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 7/Oct/2010 19:37
“Since 2006, 20 to 40 percent of the bee colonies in the United States alone have suffered “colony collapse.†Suspected culprits ranged from pesticides to genetically modified food.
Now, a unique partnership — of military scientists and entomologists — appears to have achieved a major breakthrough: identifying a new suspect, or two.
…researchers on both sides say that colony collapse may be the first time that the defense machinery of the post-Sept. 11 Homeland Security Department and academia have teamed up to address a problem that both sides say they might never have solved on their own.

Action gamers make better drivers, soldiers, surgeons

Stateside brain experts say that their latest research indicates that playing action video games makes people more able to make correct decisions quickly under time pressure – potentially turning them into superior drivers, soldiers or surgeons.
