A Faraday cage creates an invisible shield
A Faraday cage, an invisible shield of conductive material, blocks electromagnetic fields, protecting everything from electronics to people from external radiation and interference.
A Faraday cage is a clever enclosure made of conductive material that blocks electromagnetic fields, keeping its interior safe. Named after Michael Faraday, who demonstrated its power in 1836, it works by redistributing electric charges on its surface to cancel out incoming fields. This makes the inside electromagnetically neutral, protecting against everything from static electricity to radio waves.
