Atomic Physics and Nuclear Physics

The quantum future of body armors, it is a presentation addressing the limitations of body armor used by both military,police forces and civilians in America as well as the developing future of pushing beyond the bounds of those limitations with quantum physics. Supporting literature was collected from a variety of sources including PubMed. Problems addressed are the weight of the armor, breathability and the body type of the wearer. Ballistic analyses pertaining to different types of polymers as well as armor’s lack of ability to self-repair and heal the wearer. Solutions explored are lightening the weight of the armor, increasing its breathability, biometric ownership of the armor for national security purposes, innovated polymers reversed-engineered from the quantum level and nanomachine technology for the material’s ability to self-repair and heal some wounds of the user. Obstacles preventing the innovation of such solutions are explored such as limitations of nanotechnology based on the laws of thermodynamics as well as economical inhibitions connected to the cost of production.
