Good news, space colonists! Researchers have figured out how radiation damages spacecraft hulls
2013-08-07 15:00:42| Extremetech
By carefully observing magnesium atoms, scientists may have learned how voids in materials are formed by radiation. This could lead to better spacecraft for long term missions, and safer power plants.
