It might sound like the plot of a film, but American scientists have made suits which give soldiers super-human powers. The suits look like strange metal skeletons, and are designed to be worn like a second skin. They follow a person’s every move, and make them stronger, able to go on for longer, and less likely to get hurt.

The US Army has spent millions of dollars on the suits and hope they will save them time, money, and in the future, save lives. The suits are known as exoskeletons, and are made from lightweight aluminium. People who’ve tried them out say they’re easy to move around in, and can help them pick up heavier weights.
