Es oficial: Ahora tenemos un material natural para proteger contra la radiación nuclear.

Los científicos de Filipinas han desarrollado una forma innovadora de reutilizar las cenizas volcánicas en un escudo efectivo contra la radiación.

Esta innovación proporciona una alternativa económica y sostenible a los materiales de blindaje tradicionales como el hormigón y el plomo.

The Scorpii AR system

In the system AR Scorpii a rapidly spinning white dwarf star powers electrons up to almost the speed of light. These high energy particles release blasts of radiation that lash the companion red dwarf star, and cause the entire system to pulse dramatically every 1.97 minutes with radiation ranging from the ultraviolet to radio.

The star system AR Scorpii, or AR Sco for short, lies in the constellation of Scorpius, 380 light-years from Earth. It comprises a rapidly spinning white dwarf, the size of Earth but containing 200,000 times more mass, and a cool red dwarf companion one third the mass of the Sun, orbiting one another every 3.6 hours in a cosmic dance as regular as clockwork.
