When we talk of an energy absorbing material, what weâre really talking about is a material that can control the release of energy in various ways. Energy is never lost â itâs only transferred into different forms. You probably remember this from basic science classes in middle school or high school.
This can make an ion, for example, and the electron can then move away or be captured elsewhere.So what that does is basically turn the energy in the x-ray or the gamma ray into other forms of energy inside the material, so it's basically a safe form of energy and a way of neutralizing the effects of the radiation.
