New Faraday Cages Can Be Switched Off and On

Posted in electronics, materials

Advanced new Faraday cages—the metal mesh enclosures that can block wireless signals—can also be switched on and off for reversible protection against noise, a new study finds.

In addition, these new shields can be easily fabricated through a technique akin to spray-painting, which could help them find use in electronics, researchers say.


Built out of a novel material called MXene, these cages could block and allow signals as desired.
