Weaponizing Bugs - Researchers Develop a Living Armour Shield Stronger Than Steel Plates

[Phitz]

In Melbourne, Australian bio-materials researchers have converted insect-derived chitin into carbon foam that absorbs extreme kinetic energy.
The foam’s hexagonal micro-lattice spreads impact loads like a shock web, preventing fragmentation.
Technically, enzymatic pyrolysis removes water and nitrogen, leaving reinforced carbon frameworks as light as cork and stronger than steel plates.
Prototype vehicle panels shrug off ballistic rounds while weighing half as much as composite armor.
Strategically, Australia may redefine protection with biology-grown carbon. #

I was thinking Halo.

And now Blue Beetle.

But either way. Yes, please.

Will it also give us a smooth Samoan like mane even if we FBA?

One of the shyttiest AI pictures I've ever seen. It looks like the projectile is coming out of the shield instead of into it.

And nobody in their right minds would be that close to an impact of that level.

Whoever prompted that image for this article should be prompted to clear out their desk before the end of the day.

I saw chitlins and the ability to absorb kinetic energy and thought of Bishop
