Scientists have manipulated molecules of diamonds, engineering diamond particles to form a flat shape more like a breastplate than the diamonds used in jewelry. The resulting armor is lightweight, 10 times stronger than steel and better able to block bullets.
This new technology will be incorporated into a system that will allow soldiers to build their own body armor with new parts that weigh less. Each military job varies greatly from day to day. Sometimes a soldier needs lighter armor that allows them to be more mobile and other times it's best to have better protection at the cost of agility. This protection system allows a soldier to strap on different breastplates and other add-ons that best suit the dangers he will face that day.
Diamonds may soon be protecting future generations of soldiers as well as shining brilliantly in jewelry!
