Companies in both the private and public sectors are aggressively seeking to market the application for both military and civilian uses, including Sofshell Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based start-up spun off from the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, or IMRE, at Singapore's A*STAR, a government research agency, and one of 12 finalists in The Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Awards.
私营和公共部门的公司都在积极将这种技术运用到军事和民用领域,新加坡的初创公司Sofshell Pte. Ltd.就是这样一家企业,该公司是从新加坡政府研究机构A*STAR下属的材料研究与工程研究所(Institute of Materials Research and Engineering)独立出来的。
Sofshell started in 2010 as a science education outreach display that attempted to show the shock resistant properties of a slurry of corn flour and water, a non-Newtonian fluid; an egg falling onto the mixture was able to remain intact.
Sofshell做为一家科学教育拓展机构创办于2010年,该公司试图展示一种非牛顿流体──玉米粉和水混合成的浆糊所具有的抗打击属性,鸡蛋落到这种混合物上不会被打破。
It raised an obvious question: Why couldn't the properties of such substances be replicated to protect human bodies or fragile items from sudden shocks?
人们不禁会联想到,为什么我们不能复制这种物质的属性,从而为人体或是脆弱的东西在受到突然的撞击时提供保护呢?
