Rust may be generally unwelcome, but scientists at North Carolina State University are using it to develop a new radiation shielding that is lighter and cheaper than conventional materials. Aimed at ...

In a recent article in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the potential of graphene-based nanocomposites, specifically graphene/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites, as effective ...

A shielding layer can do a lot of jobs badly if you ask too much of it. It can block electromagnetic interference but not ...

Radiation shielding materials play a critical role in many commercial and industrial applications such as medical imaging and therapy, nuclear waste storage, space exploration, and food sterilization.

Researchers have developed a new technique for shielding electronics in military and space exploration technology from ionizing radiation. The new approach is more cost effective than existing ...
