Caltech and NTU researchers developed a new fabric that can become rigid on demand (Credit: Caltech)

Many superheroes wear capes. But Batman's imposing floor-length cloak is legendary. The twisting sheath not only adds to the Dark Knight's mystique but also transforms into a rigid fabric that allows him to fly for extended periods. Now, engineers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have replicated the shape-shifting material in real life.

      Or what if they use graphite the strongest material on earth. To a comparison, 1 atom thick sheets of graphite are 200 x stronger than steel. They would make it impossible to break.

          Nope, Graphene is actually the strongest material. I believe it's almost 50x stronger than diamond.

        Spider silk can hold way more than metal so if they do it they can create something that might be resistant to bombs

          what if they use spider silk? Spider silk is stronger than bulletproof vests and can carry more weight than metal. It can be used for super defense.

              I bet this could be used for defense- like in the military or something like that. It could save lots of lives if they wore this as part of their uniform.

                If only NTU could do this with iron then they could make it stronger.
