According to this article, a research team at Johns Hopkins University created shock-absorbing material that protects like a metal but is lighter, stronger, and reusable. The new foam-like material could be a game-changer for helmets, body armor, and automobile and aerospace parts. This research effort was supported, in part, by funding from the U.S. Army Research Office and the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering
