A film footage from NASA showing the trip of a solid rocket booster, from the moment it separates from the space shuttle, to its landing. Awesome! Enjoy!

Some clips of Thermite from Brainiac science abuse. Thermite burns at around 4000 °F (2500 °C) and can cut just about anything. Watch it destroy anything in its path! Cool.

A non-newtonian fluid under stress reacts as a solid. In this case they filled a pool with a mix of cornstarch and water made on a concrete mixer truck. It becomes a non-newtonian fluid. Update: Liquid Armor is one of this fluid's applications.

Here's a simply incredible video of a crash test of a Chinse truck at 64km/h into a solid wall. The video speaks for itself

Here's another cornstarch and water solution, which becomes a non-newtonian fluid. A Non-Newtonian fluid, has properties that cannot be described by classical fluids. In this video clip, the non-newtonian fluid is a mixture of corn starch and water.

This is a followup of Pool with non newtonian fluid. As seen there non-newtonian fluids can have different properties (fluid/liquid) depending on the stress. Here is an up-to-date application for the military: Liquid Armor. Enjoy! Liquid Armor - video powered by Metacafe

It was finally demonstrated how atoms arrange themselves inside the materials. This opens new possibilities for designing ultraresistant objects. Glass is a material called 'amorphous', whose atoms that is, are not disposed in a regular type structures crystal. The substance is not considered a solid but, rather, a liquid with very high viscosity. An international research team, led by Paddy Royall University of Bristol (Great Britain), in collaboration with Japanese and Australian scholars, is now able to demonstrate that during the solidification particles have in-shaped structures that prevent the icosahedron formation of crystals. Unlike solid crystalline form, in which the atoms are fixed to one another by chemical bonds into regular geometric structures, glass appears' solid 'just because the movement of each particle is physically prevented by the presence of other neighbouring atoms. The particles, that is, hinder each other. It was thus finally confirmed, with a simulation test, a 50 years old theory that explains many of the characteristics of this material and that could allow us to build, for example, non-crystalline metals much more resistant than traditional ones.
