image: Rice University scientists fired microbullets at supersonic speeds in experiments that show graphene is 10 times better than steel at absorbing the energy of a penetrating projectile. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 28 2014 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Jae-Hwang Lee at Rice University in Houston, TX, and colleagues was titled, "Dynamic mechanical behavior of multilayer graphene via supersonic projectile penetration." view more
