Metal Foam Stops Bullets Without Cracking

Metal Foam Handles Heat Better Than Steel
A new study from North Carolina State University researchers finds that novel light-weight composite metal foams (CMFs) are significantly more effective at insulating against high heat than the conventional base metals and alloys that they”re made of, such as steel. The finding means the CMF is especially promising for use in storing and transporting nuclear
