 From the "damn, I want one of those" department:

An electric "force field" for armoured vehicles that vaporises anti-tank
grenades and shells on impact has been developed by scientists at the
Ministry of Defence.

The "electric armour" has been developed in an attempt to make tanks and
other armoured vehicles lighter and less vulnerable to anti-tank grenade
launchers such as those used by the Taliban and al-Qa'eda fighters in
Afghanistan.
