Imagine a suit of chainmail armor that flows like water when touched lightly but locks into place when struck with force.

The cache included swords, spears, lances and chainmail. Researchers think these items may have been buried as part of a ...

"It's similar to chainmail in that it cannot easily rip ... might have a future as a specialty material for light-weight body armor and ballistic fabrics. "We have a lot more analysis to do ...

A recent study published in the journal Antiquity sheds new light on how Roman soldiers maintained and repaired their chainmail armor on the empire's northern frontiers. Researchers from Czechia ...

Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.

Imagine armor as light as fabric yet stronger than steel, built from materials that link together like molecular chainmail. Scientists may have just taken the first step toward making it a reality.

that are—put incredibly simply—collections of interconnected links structured like chainmail armor. “PAMs are really a new type of matter,” Chiara Daraio, senior author of the study from ...

"It's similar to chainmail in that it cannot easily rip ... might make the new material perfect for the development of new lightweight armor or other ballistic fabrics. The researchers dedicated ...

Danish archaeologists recently announced the discovery during an excavation of a variety of weapons and armor dating to the Iron Age and ancient Rome.

Similar to chainmail, the material exhibits exceptional ... it holds promise for use in high-performance, light-weight body armor and other uses that demand lightweight, flexible and tough materials.
