A new "liquid armor" could be the solution for protecting the parts of the body that aren't currently covered by standard-issue ballistic vests arms and legs, where many of these devastating and life-threatening injuries occur

Science is cool. Dip your junk in it and you become the man of steel. :D
The liquid - called shear thickening fluid is actually a mixture of hard nanoparticles and nonevaporating liquid. It flows normally under low-energy conditions, but when agitated or hit with an impact it stiffens and behaves like a solid. This temporary stiffening occurs less than a millisecond after impact, and is caused by the nanoparticles forming tiny clusters inside the fluid. "The particles jam up forming a log jam structure that prevents things from penetrating through them," Wagner explains.
