Composite metal foams (CMFs) are tough enough to turn an armor-piercing bullet into dust on impact. Given that these foams are also lighter than metal plating, the material has obvious implications for creating new types of body and vehicle armor - and that's just the beginning of its potential uses.

"By Casey Johnston | The standard model of particle physics dictates that the world is made up of sixteen types of particles divided into two types: fermions and bosons. The way these particles behave with each other shows that there are four possible kinds of interactions: electromagnetic, strong, weak, and gravitational."
