Faraday cages work on the principle of electromagnetic shielding. When an external electric field interacts with the conductive material of the cage, it causes the electric charges within the material to redistribute. This redistribution cancels the external field inside the cage.
In nanotechnology applications, materials for Faraday cages can range from traditional metals like copper and aluminum to carbon-based nanomaterials like graphene, which offer exceptional conductivity and flexibility.
