Summary:
- This article discusses the development of a new radiation-hardened WiFi chip that can withstand extremely high levels of radiation, up to 1 million gray (Gy).
- The chip was developed by researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands and is designed to operate in harsh environments, such as space or nuclear facilities, where regular electronics would quickly fail.
- The chip's ability to function in high-radiation environments could enable new applications for wireless communication in these challenging settings, such as remote monitoring and control of critical systems.
