Nanotechnology can improve body armor in several ways:
Enhanced Strength: Nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes and graphene are incredibly strong and can be incorporated into body armor to provide exceptional durability. Weight Reduction: Nanomaterials can achieve the same or superior protection levels as traditional materials but with significantly less weight. Flexibility: Unlike rigid traditional armor, nanomaterials can be engineered to be more flexible while maintaining their protective qualities. Self-healing Properties: Some nanomaterials have self-healing properties, allowing the armor to repair minor damages autonomously.
