An international team of scientists has incorporated a shear thickening fluid (STF) into a bag to protect planes from bombs in passenger luggage.The bag, named the Fly-Bag, is designed to be filled with passenger luggage and then placed in the hold. Then, if there were a bomb in the luggage somewhere - and it exploded during the flight - the resulting blast would be absorbed by the bag, preventing damage to the plane. Passenger luggage represents an ongoing risk STFs are unusual in that they increase in viscosity in response to impact. It is possible to make a simple STF...
