Smart computations to study space radiation effects
The nanoGUNE Theory group led by Emilio Artacho is focused on the European project ESC2RAD to better understand the damage of solar and cosmic radiation on astronauts, spacecrafts and solar panels of satellites.
The project is led by the Belgian Institute of Space Aeronomy (BIRA) and along with nanoGUNE also involves the University of Lille (Fancia) and Queen's University of Belfast (UK).
