Boron Treated Shirts
Maybe superman wore one of these under his costume. This new breakthrough is a boron layered shirt that can stop a speeding bullet. This is done by dipping a t-shirt into a boron solution, then heating it in an oven at more than 1000C. What happens is the cotton fibers change into carbon fibers.The carbon fibers react with the boron solution and produce boron carbide - the same material used to make bulletproof plates in armored vests. The material is incredibly strong and flexible enough that it can be worn. It can also block ultraviolet rays, and possibly life-threatening neutron. Don't worry this won't be the last time you hear about this new boron coating technique. If they could do this to a t-shirt just imagine the possibilities.
