* Clothing can include Moratex pack which instantly hardens on impact
* Has been shown to stop bullets in lab tests - yet wearer can move around

Scientists at a Polish company that produce body armour systems are working to put a 'magic liquid' that can harden on impact in their products.

The liquid is called Shear-Thickening Fluid (STF), and instantly hardens upon impact at any temperature.

In a 'liquid armour' this provides protection from penetration by high-speed projectiles and additionally dispersing energy over a larger area.
