Researcher Commercializing Shield Material with Applications to Reduce Concussion Risk, Save Lives
New Mexico State University (NMSU)Roy L. Xu, New Mexico State University associate professor of mechanical engineering, discovered a very thin interface bonding material with applications for football helmets to reduce concussions. The material is light and cost-effective to make bulletproof backpacks at a much lower cost than the $300 to $400 range of those currently available.
