Scientists in Poland are working on body armor technology that uses specially-designed liquid to protect against bullets, according to Reuters.

Unlike Newtonian liquids such as water, the Shear-Thickening Fluid (STF) hardens on impact from a projectile, the report says, offering protection from bullets.

The technology has already been touted as a potential replacement for Kevlar in body armor.

  1. I don't see how this is possible as the skin has to 'breath'. People use to die
    from their skin being painted over d/t increase core temp. No way to cool-down.
