Scientists have created an elastic thread that glows when exposed to radiation. This thread can be woven into smart clothing that warns of danger. An invisible shield woven into everyday life.

🎯 The first radiation detectors used by [scientist:Marie Curie]Marie Curie[/scientist] and [scientist:Ernest Rutherford]Ernest Rutherford[/scientist] required entire laboratories. Now you can wear a detector like a sweater.

🎬 Isaac Asimov's Foundation series mentions personal dosimeters, but fabric detectors are now a reality.
