From straightforward Faraday cages, advanced electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection systems have developed into complex, multi-layered defensive networks. These systems combine modern metamaterials able to actively deflect and absorb electromagnetic energy with conventional metallic shielding. The most recent advancements include adaptive shielding, which can automatically change its characteristics depending on the approaching hazard therefore shielding against both natural and manmade EMP occurrences. Specialised semiconductors and quantum dots included into the technology can manage large voltage spikes while preserving normal electronic functions. Recent field tests have revealed these systems add no weight to the shielded building yet can shield delicate electronics from EMPs up to 50,000 volts per metre.
