President-elect Trump made “law and order” a centerpiece of
his campaign, as well as the projection of American military power. How to
achieve those goals is a matter of debate. At some point, however, the good
guys—to use Trump’s terms— need better protection than the bad guys.
So, that means we’re talking about body armor. In today’s
realm of combat, lightweight materials that are iron-clad are the best suited
for some of these high-risk situations.
Enter scientists—the people who are ripped regularly by Fox
News, and particularly Sean Hannity— for their “fake science.”
In Science—a prestigious academic journal— a team of
chemists has published research showing how to manipulate molecules to create
the tightest knot ever. It’s a huge advance in the field of “molecular weaving.”
Among its most likely applications will be great improvements in body armor.
Other applications will be discovered, if the right stops
with its steady beat-down of "fake science."
