Sounds like some good house insulation. I’d buy it.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Lots of applications if the price is right.

Earlier testing has demonstrated that CMFs can withstand extremely high temperatures and effectively block x-ray, gamma ray and neutron radiation. This I have to see.
If true there is going to be some new chapters written in college physics text books.

I was down at the plastics store and they had a sheet of 2-inch thick plexiglass or something. It had a sticker saying “.45 caliber” with arrows pointing at very tiny - almost invisible marks in the plastic.
They had another sticker saying “30-06” with an arrow pointing to a golf-ball sized hole all the way through with three large gaping cracks extending another 4 inches. Pretty impressive.
