TECHi's Take
If you’ve always wanted a high-tech suit of armor that will make you nearly invincible — à la Tony Stark of “Iron Man” — your long wait may soon be over.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) and other groups from business and academia are joining forces to create a Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, or TALOS, that “promises to provide superhuman strength with greater ballistic protection,” according to a statement released by the U.S. Army.
