Scientists have use dmicrobullets in experiments to show graphene is 10 times better than steel at absorbing the energy of a penetrating projectile. Graphene’s great strength appears to be determined by how well it stretches before it breaks, according to scientists who tested the material’s properties by peppering it with microbullets.
