According to Formula1, the most common type of injury is head and neck injuries. Formula One has attempted to reduce this type of damage by requiring very high standards for the drivers' helmets. The first need is that a Formula One helmet be exceedingly light. This advancement creates the problem of developing a product that is also as tough as it has to be. The helmets must pass a series of fragmentation and deformation tests to guarantee that they fulfill the stringent criteria. Because of its strength, carbon fibre is the principal material used to build Formula One helmets. The exterior shell is made up of two layers, the majority of which are made of carbon fibre.

Thor's most renowned weapon is his hammer, Mjolnir, which was constructed in an astronomical manner, very literally. In the Marvel world, Thor's hammer was forged in the centre of a dying star. When a star dies in our universe, its core burns so hot that it creates a dense substance known as "neutronium." A single teaspoon of the substance, like Thor's hammer, is thought to weigh billions of tonnes. Some of the science in Marvel's Thor films is based on beliefs we know in this reality to make it more credible.
