Gamma rays can be effectively absorbed using dense materials, with lead glass being a notable example. Lead glass combines transparency with the ability to attenuate gamma radiation, making it suitable for applications requiring visibility alongside radiation protection. Resources such as AECinfo and Raybar provide specific products and solutions for gamma ray shielding using lead glass.
