Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson talks about Vollebak’s Shielding Suit, which blocks EM radiation, infrared and tracking for privacy.

Though useful, exposure to ionizing radiation can be harmful for prolonged periods—hence the need for shielding. However, currently available materials like concrete and lead can be expensive and ...

Scientists have identified water as one of the most effective materials for blocking radiation. Water is dense and contains ...

This even distribution of hydrogen is thought to be key to developing scalable radiation shields for both spacecraft and the ...

Researchers at Ghent University have designed 3D-printed hydrogels to provide protection against radiation in space.

It's a key problem that will need to be addressed if humans are to attempt deep-space, long-duration missions. Not only is radiation exposure a dangerous health risk to humans, but it also poses a ...

Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field protect us from most cosmic radiation. Beyond this, space is a harsh environment for humans. Astronauts and spacecraft face constant bombardment from high-energy ...

Volcanic ash, often seen as a dangerous waste after eruptions, may have a surprising new purpose—shielding people from ...

A Russian drone has hit the protective shelter over Chernobyl's damaged nuclear reactor, Ukrainian President Volodymyr ...

Ghent University researchers 3D print hydrogels - superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) - for radiation protection in space.

Medical radiation shielding involves the use of materials and structures, typically made from lead or other dense substances, designed to protect patients, healthcare professionals, and medical ...

“Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at ...
