Hi-Tech: Smart Fabrics

US, Canadian Olympic skiers get skintight armor - Engadget: "he material, known as d3o, and developed by scientists working with
skiwear maker Spyder, contains a proprietary polymer that has 'strain rate flexibility.' While normally
flexible, sudden impact hardens the molecules of the material, making it as protective as the traditional arm and leg
guards worn in slalom runs. "

Wow.... that's all I've got.
