The approach focuses on improving the material properties of the mortar so that it can perform both as a structural component ...

High-energy cosmic radiation damages cells and DNA, causing cancer, and secondary neutrons—generated especially from the planetary surfaces—can be up to 20 times more harmful than other radiations.

Researchers at IIT Guwahati have developed a stronger, more durable cement mortar that enhances radiation shielding. This innovation aims to make nuclear facilities safer by improving the material's ...

IIT Guwahati researchers developed a new cement mortar modified with microparticles to make nuclear facilities safer. This material is stronger, more durable, and better at shielding against radiation ...
