Naval Research Lab team aims to design better armor through nanoscience - News
April 27, 2018
WASHINGTON. A multidisciplinary team of researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) reports that they have pushed grain-size engineering to the limit and as a result recently discovered previously unseen behaviors in nanocrystalline ceramics that could lead to the design of lighter and stronger ceramic armor for the warfighter. The discovery -- recently published in American Chemical Society Nano -- continues NRL research published in 2014.
