This doesn't really belong in net.physics, but this is where I am likely
to find help, so no flames please.

Someone posted an article a while back about a material that evidently
redirected an impact 90 degrees from its original direction through the
material.  The demonstration they claimed to have seen was a man's hand on
a table, covered with a thin sheet of the stuff, then hit with a large 
hammer.  The man sustained no damage.

I am *very* interested in finding out more about this material; if anyone
can give me a lead on more information I'll be eternally grateful.
The name and address of the folk who developed it would be perfect.

Thanks in advance,
