Gamma rays can cause serious damage to the human body. Therefore, it is very important to develop gamma-ray shielding materials with excellent radiation shielding properties. To reach this goal, scientists in China invented a lightweight perovskite/epoxy composite that can effectively attenuate gamma rays by regulating its crystal plane. The technique will open new avenues for the effective mitigation of radiation risks in the aerospace and nuclear industries.
