DESCRIPTION
Metallic foams developed by materials scientists Stefan Diebels and Anne Jung at Saarland University Strong are strong enough for use in impact protection systems in cars, and are able to absorb the shock waves produced by a detonation. Their super lightweight, extremely strong metal foams can be customized for a wide range of applications.
