In February 2025, scientists in China announced a remarkable discovery that could help save lives from deadly nuclear fallout: researchers from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health have developed a treatment that has demonstrated proven effectiveness against lethal ionizing radiation.
Indeed, studies have shown that in the event of a nuclear conflict, more people would likely die from radioactive fallout than from the initial blasts. This scientific breakthrough could, therefore, improve survival rates if ever such a doomsday scenario was to occur.
But what exactly does this treatment involve, and how can its full potential be harnessed? Read through this gallery to find out.
