Composite metal foams (CMFs) are little-known materials that are beginning to show some big promise. Last year we saw researchers adapt these lightweight materials to stop various forms of radiation ...

Composite metal foams, or CMFs, are tough — so tough that they can destroy an armor-piercing bullet on impact, Phys.org reported. Another one bites the dust: You can watch as a 7.62-by-63-millimeter ...

Scientists at North Carolina State University are preparing to bring to market a lightweight composite metal foam that combines strength, thermal shielding and both ballistic and radiation protection.

Professor Afsaneh Rabiei heads up the Advanced Material Research Lab at North Carolina State University where she is developing a breakthrough metal product known as a composite metal foam (CMF). The ...
