Researchers have developed a flexible, 3D-printable shielding material that combines carbon nanotubes and boron nitride nanotubes. This ultra-thin composite blocks 99.999% of electromagnetic waves and significantly reduces neutron radiation, offering a lightweight alternative to heavy traditional shielding. The material remains stable in extreme temperatures from -196°C to 250°C and maintains its effectiveness even when stretched. Its ability to be printed into complex honeycomb structures makes it highly applicable for satellites, nuclear power plants, and advanced medical equipment.
