Comment Physicists: New Radiation Shielding Materials? (Score 1, Interesting) 417
Can someone explain what it is about two feet of lead that stops radiation better than a single sheet of carbon nanotubes?
Obviously, one would need a way to manufacture such a sheet, but my point is, is a thin, light, radiation impermeable material technically conceivable? What are the issues?
