I think this was posted a few months ago. But it is still very cool.
It was actually posted a couple of years ago, but the thread quickly went a tiny bit off-topic (to say the least), so I'll let this new thread stay open for now.. :)

I found this interesting article on military.com today

This liquid body armor seems like a real good idea.
The body armor, flak jackets and bullet proof jackets we have in the military today does hinder your work a lot.
And the idea of using this in BDUs seems real interesting too, adding a whole new level af personal security on the battlefield, without hindering your movement.
 
You can see a similar effect of you make a paste of baking soda and water. You can roll it into a ball between your palms, but, if you remove the pressure of your hands, it flattens out and acts like a liquid.
