10 Technologies the U.S. Military Will Need For the Next War

Abstract:
Officials are undertaking this study because extremely lightweight nanomaterials that could revolutionize body armor are several years away from being realized.

Nanotechnology one day may be able to provide soldiers with a suit of armor that fits like a t-shirt, Obusek said.
