Scientists speed up radiation testing for satellite chips
Original: Scientists speed up tests to protect satellite chips from radiation
Researchers have developed a faster method for testing how well microchips survive radiation exposure in space, according to a report by Interesting Engineering. The work aims to help protect satellite electronics from cosmic rays and other radiation that can disrupt or damage semiconductors in orbit, where repairs are impossible and satellites are becoming increasingly central to communications, navigation and defence systems.
Why now: Rising reliance on satellites makes faster, cheaper radiation-hardening tests highly relevant to the space and semiconductor industries.
