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

Astronauts and spacecraft face constant bombardment from high-energy radiation, posing significant risks to both human health ...

Radiation shielding is an area where nanotechnology could make a major contribution to human space flight. NASA says that the risks of exposure to space radiation are the most significant factor ...

Narrator: Here on Earth, our atmosphere shields us from 77% of the sun's radiation. But astronauts in space don't have that natural shield, making them vulnerable to blistering temperatures ...

The more thick and heavy shielding there is between a person and the vacuum, the better. Semones said about 20 centimeters of water can soak up most space radiation. Yet water is dense and ...

Researchers have created geopolymer mortar blocks from Taal volcanic ash, potentially suitable for constructing ...

I’ve described SkyWater Technologies as a specialist in custom chips and advanced semiconductor chip packaging. But after ...

In electrical engineering, electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive ... Electromagnetic ...

Space storms, often referred to as solar storms or space weather events, are disturbances in space triggered primarily by solar activity. These phenomena include solar ... Read more The post Shielding ...

But computers in space are susceptible to ionizing solar and cosmic radiation. Just one high-energy particle can trigger a so-called "single event effect," causing minor data errors that lead to ...

Medical radiation shielding market size was valued at USD 1.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a robust 6.6% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. Medical radiation shielding involves the use of ...
