Body armour of the future

I know there have been posts on ATS about the Dragon Skin armour that us mentioned to be very effective, but here is a fairly new design based on the scales of a fish called the Dinosaur Eel which is found in Africa:

Long and skinny and of ancient heritage, the 40-centimetre predator has multiple layers of scales that first dissipate the energy of a strike, then protect against any penetration to the soft tissues below and finally limit any damage to the shield to the immediate area surrounding the assault.
