WHAT IS IT?
This innovative material can resist supersonic impacts and could be used to develop armor and other impact-resistant materials.
WHY IMPORTANT
The tremendous temperatures of nuclear fusion reactors or the conquest of outer space are fields in which the development of new materials has become a critical requirement. The main property of this new material is its high strength combined with unprecedented lightness. Specifically, the researchers indicate it will be much stronger than Kevlar or steel used in protective clothing or the coating of objects and structures.
