In Science Fiction and Fantasy literature, a force field is a physical barrier made up of energy to protect a person or object from attacks or intrusions. The Plasma Window is a real-life technology that partially recreates the functionality of a force field, providing a separation between vacuum and gas that allows some radiation and energetic particles to pass through. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT There is currently only one scientifically valid method of creating a 'force shield': the use of electromagnetism to affect the movement of metallic objects. No power sources currently exist that could possibly create a field of sufficient strength to act as a protective device. Thus, force fields remain firmly in the realm of science-fiction.
