"MXene protects from harmful radiation... overcomes multi-step up to 40 hour fabrication, using 90 minute 1-step microwave synthesis, uses 75% less energy... customize MXene's composition changing radiation type protects against... tested their material across the X-band—radio frequencies ranging from 8.0–12.0 GHZ—but to protect against electronic materials in outer space, more testing against cosmic radiation is needed"
