Bulletproof vest material for use in body armor. Graphene is manufactured from carbon and is the thinnest, strongest, and most conductive material on the planet. Taking the form of hexagonally arranged atoms, its tensile strength is known to be 200 times greater than steel, but studies from Rice University have revealed it is also 10 times better than steel at dissipating energy, an ability that had previously not been thoroughly explored. To test its properties, the University of Massachusetts stacked together graphene sheets only a single carbon atom thick, creating layers ranging in thickness from 10 nanometers to 100 nanometers from 300
2016 World's Strongest Man final featured five first-time finalists, including three World's Strongest Man rookies, a number not seen since the days of the IFSA split in the mid-2000s. Two Americans, two Brits, two Poles, an Icelander, a Canadian, a Slovenian and a Georgian made up the field. Poland had not had a finalist in four years, while it was a first representation of Slovenia and Georgia in the World's Strongest Man final. In the first event, the Frame Carry, Laurence Shahlaei sprinted out to an early lead in the first heat but injured his calf on the way back. He was be able
