3D Printed Hydrogels Improve Radiation Protection for Astronauts
Scientists at Ghent University, a research institution specializing in polymer chemistry and biomaterials, are evaluating 3D printed hydrogels as a radiation shield for astronauts. These materials, which can absorb and retain large amounts of water, could offer a safer alternative to traditional shielding methods. The research, conducted in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), […]
