As many people know, the Atomic Dispersion Shielding placed upon the ships of the Foundation, and surrounding the cities of the planet Terminus, function upon the principle of strengthening the bonds between the sub-atomic particles so that the Atomic Dispersal Beams are negated and reduced to so much harmless light. Such shields are easily manufactured to guard a ship, a city, or even a world, but they have never yet been compacted down to protect a single human. As yet no power source has been developed which could condense a force shield down to man-size, and even if such a power source existed it would be rather inconvenient to carry around a five thousand myria-ton power source in a little wheeled cart. It would complicate any situation which would necessitate the need for a force-shield.
However, with the recent breakthrough in Hyper-Atomic theory, as well as the Ultrawave development, we have finally determined a method to strengthen the Sub-Atomic Bonds on a minscule level. Thus, any standard Atomic generator will be sufficient to power a man-size atomic shield. All that remains is the streamlineing of the Shield Generator and the standardizing of the power source.
Once development has been completed the Shields shall be available for purchase, but the specific date is not currently known.
