The scientists of the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered a “Star Trek”-style plasma shield that is invisible and capable of blocking “killer electrons”. The shield is 7,200 miles above the Earth. These electronstravel nearly at the speed of light, and may damage space electronics and can put the lives of astronauts at grave risk. According to Distinguished Professor Daniel Baker, director of CU-Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics,the shield was discovered in the Van Allen radiation belts, which are held in place by the magnetic field of the Earth. They are shaped like doughnuts and are full of high-energy electrons and protons
