Says the paper, "Kiwi scientists have developed a revolutionary fabric that is stab and flame resistant, but as light to wear as wool. The superhero fabric can even withstand a blowtorch, said Peter Ingham, a scientist at NZ government-owned research group AgResearch. Dr. Ingham said the fabric's uses could include protecting soldiers from shrapnel, and prison wardens from inmates. 'It looks like a milled woolen material, but it is made using a new technology,' he said. 'There have been inquiries from New Zealand Post to prevent puncture wounds from dog bites.' The fabric is made by combining knitted vectran, an ultra-high-strength polymer, with wool fibres."
