Inspired by crocodile scales, Chinese armour tech said to deflect projectiles
Chinese researchers have developed a novel armor technology inspired by crocodile scales, utilizing diamond-shaped ceramic tiles angled at 45 degrees. This design, published in Acta Armamentarii, aims to deflect projectiles more effectively than traditional hexagonal tile arrangements. The team, led by Zhaoxiu Jiang at Ningbo University, believes this technology could be applied to body armor, vehicles, and helicopters. AI
