Spacecraft may be more vulnerable to damage than previously thought. This could be a major concern for space exploration.
Eggshells are being studied for their potential to absorb and distribute impact forces. This property could be useful in protecting spacecraft from collisions and other hazards.
Researchers are investigating how to harness this ability. Further research is needed to understand the full potential of eggshells in spacecraft protection.
