Scientists at the Army Research Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are using highly sensitive x-ray machines to study microstructures of the skull that are informing new military helmet designs. To date, it's the most detailed study of the human skull, according to Argonne, so we should expect better helmets to protect the tiny bones, as a result. (Popular Mechanics)
