Description

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- Army researchers are studying the physiological effects of blast pressure on the brain to discover technology solutions to protect Soldiers.

Scientists at the Army Research Laboratory, in partnership with the DOD Blast Injury Research Program Coordinating Office, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, are developing nanomaterials to help understand the mechanism of brain injuries when Soldiers are exposed to blast conditions.

They have developed a gel substance with fluorescent properties that mimics the texture and mass of the human brain. Their goal is to show the scale of damage to the brain under the pressure conditions that Soldiers encounter in combat or training.
