The U.S. Army awarded the University of Southern Missisisippi a $4.9 million grant to conduct research into helmet liners for soldiers.

The school has worked with Rawlings Sporting Goods — makers of baseball and football helmets — since 2011 to help produce liners for football helmets.
Get a daily look at what’s developing in science and technology throughout the world.
