Tracing the journey from fungi thriving in reactor ruins to engineered living coatings that convert radiation into energy for next-gen spacesuits.
Boron nitride nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to weavable fibers — and they could make radiation shielding lighter than a winter jacket.
Lessons from the Starship program applied to protective equipment: first-principles thinking, rapid iteration, and refusing to accept industry norms.
Current nuclear industry PPE is heavy, hot, and decades old. AI-driven adaptive suits could dramatically improve both safety and worker quality of life.
Ultra-low-power neural engines are finally small enough for body-worn deployment — enabling predictive threat modeling directly in protective garments.
