Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design never-before-seen nanomaterials with the strength of carbon steel ...

In the future, this could be used to develop lightweight yet high-performance body armor and other such tough materials, a press release said. It was in the 1980s that Fraser Stoddart, then a ...

Small amounts of the mechanically interlocked polymer added to Ultem fibers increased the high-performance material's toughness. In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led ...

With further work, it holds promise for use in high-performance, light-weight body armor and other uses that demand lightweight, flexible and tough materials. The researchers produced this ...
