In your day-to-day life, you probably don’t have to dodge and deflect arrows too often. (Unless you’re some kind of medieval YouTuber.) But that doesn’t mean we should give up on the notion of ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), United States, have developed a new type of ‘chain mail’ fabric that ...

To protect its spacecraft from the rigors of deep space, a team of NASA engineers is turning to a time-honored — and battle-proven — solution: chain mail. Led by Raul Polit Casillas, whose mother is a ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have created the world’s smallest chain-mail fabric. This fabric looks like the chain-mail armor worn by medieval knights, but can ...

A team of researchers, including scientists from NTU Singapore and Caltech, have been working to develop a new smart fabric that is soft and flexible but can stiffen on-demand. The material is ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois have fabricated the world's smallest chain-mail fabric. Combined with existing processing techniques, the flexible, metallic fabric holds promise for fully ...

As the links are pulled taut, the researchers found that the fabric’s length could expand by 32%, with its width decreasing by 56%. It can also incorporate electronics. However, I think it will have a ...
