Researchers have developed a wearable material that may help dramatically reduce the risk of a concussion, suggests a new study. John LaRocco, lead author of the study and a research scientist in psychiatry at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, devised a way to bake starch into , a type of ultralight styrofoam typically used to provide effective insulation. Two launchers propelled tennis balls into a mock head at point-blank range.
