Kurchatov Institute Develops New Lightweight and Ultra-Strong Material for Bulletproof Vests

Breakthrough material promises to increase protection efficiency with minimal weight

The National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" is developing a new material for bulletproof vests that combines lightness and high strength.

We are creating a new material for bulletproof vests, very light, but also ultra-strong.
Mikhail Kovalchuk, President of the Kurchatov Institute

Materials created in the institutes that are part of the NRC "Kurchatov Institute" are used not only in the military field, but also in civil industry. These are high-strength and heat-resistant materials for aviation, shipbuilding and nuclear energy, as well as composites used in space and on gas production platforms.

In addition, the institute is actively developing biocompatible materials for regenerative medicine that interact well with human tissues.
