Researchers at Ghent University in Belgium are working on the development of advanced 3D-printed hydrogels for radiation shielding.
Hydrogels are materials that absorb and retain vast amounts of water.
Water is excellent for shielding due to its density and hydrogen content, which slows down radiation.
Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are being developed as a safer alternative to water.
