Can you make armor out of graphene?
Layers of carbon one-atom thick can absorb blows that would punch through steel. Recent tests suggest that pure graphene performs twice as well as the fabric currently used in bulletproof vests, making it an ideal armour for soldiers and police.
How does Liquid Body Armor work?
Instead, they use Kevlar that has been soaked in one of two fluids. The first is a shear-thickening fluid (STF), which behaves like a solid when it encounters mechanical stress or shear. In other words, it moves like a liquid until an object strikes or agitates it forcefully. Then, it hardens in a few milliseconds.
Can I stop my dermal from rejecting?
How can I stop my dermal from rejecting? Once the piercing reaches a certain point in the rejection process (the anchor appearing through the surface), it can‘t be reversed. Although piercers can reseat the dermal (take it out and put it right back in), that hardly works long term.
