Multi-layer graphene confirmed to be twice as bullet resistant as Kevlar
Researchers devised a new miniature ballistics test to test graphene’s bullet resistance. They used a laser pulse to superheat gold filaments until they vaporised, acting like gunpowder to fire a micron-size glass bullet into 10 to 100 sheets of graphene at 3000 meters per second. The team found that graphene sheets dissipate this kinetic energy …
