Radiation Mitigation Theory

Completed TRL 1 (started at 1, targeting 1)

Description

This research is utilizing a recently discovered, math based color model. Using "Voltage as a function of time" [V(t)] equations with 3 new, unique, proportional, circular constants based on the golden ratio proportions.

Benefits

A radiation mitigation theory will lead to the development of new technologies and/or materials in science and engineering. This will result in the mitigation of radiation sickness for astronauts and space colonists.

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 1) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
