The new material can revolutionize spaceflight and military technology.

"Researchers have created a new synthetic biology material that can stop supersonic impacts. It could have numerous practical applications, such as next-generation bulletproof armor." (ScitechDaily/Ground-Breaking New Shock-Absorbing Material Can Stop Supersonic Impacts)

The new material called TSAM (Talin Shock Absorbing Materials) can resist hypersonic impacts. And that makes this new material very promising for spaceflight and military technology. Engineers can use TSAM as armor against ammunition and micrometeorites. 

TSAM is one of the versions of material that uses natural elements in new forms. The base of TSAM is protein talin. That is the natural shock absorber in the cells. There is the possibility that protein talin can inject into the hollow wool fibers. 

Or producers can put protein talin between the layers of the non-organic armor. That means the protein talin can simply inject between the layers of the layered armor. 

The thing is that. The TSAM is one version of the hybrid material that can contain biologically produced and non-organic components. The protein talin is a string-shaped molecule. And it can use in materials similar to nano-springs as DNA molecules. When impact hits those spring-shaped molecules, they can absorb impacting energy like normal-size springs make in our size world.

There is a wild vision that genetically engineered cells will install between layered armor. The purpose of those cells is to create the protein talin that can use as anti-shock or impact-absorbing material between the thin metal layers. Those cells can make the layer of the protein talin between metallic tin foil. And those protein springs are making that armor very fundamental. 

And it can revolutionize things like body armor. The TSAM is a so-called synthetic biological material. The base of that material is the protein. The system can manipulate by using physical or chemical methods during production processes. There is the possibility that between layers of the ring-shaped protein are put the DNA bites that make the protein elastic, and that helps to make material that can resist the impacts. 

The DNA between those protein layers can act like nano-springs that are taking part in energy in the impact in that structure. DNA can vertically or horizontally install in the protein molecules.
