I need me some of that space future armor.

Here’s the JPL post with more info!

“We are just scratching the surface of what’s possible,”
Shapiro-Scharlotta said. “The use of organic and non-linear shapes at no
additional costs to fabrication will lead to more efficient mechanical
designs.”

My favorite thing about this is that it’s basically what Klingon armor looks like.

The future is now and it’s Klingons.

Qapla!
