Shields Up! New Radiation Protection for Spacecraft and Astronauts

I wanted to jot this down before it was lost.  I have no idea if this will work but it looks like a lead none the less.  I think if we took into mind the Bifield Brown effect that something could be developed along these lines.

NASA researchers are working hard to find their away around space radiation, a hazard future astronauts can't avoid if they hope to fly on long missions to Mars and eventually set foot on its surface.

Much of their focus is on new and better shielding materials to slap on the outer surface of a spacecraft, since the traditional aluminum shells won't cut it during a multi-year mission.
