To help robots work in nuclear disasters, scientists make radiation-proof Wi-Fi chips
If disaster strikes and you’re tasked with clearing up some radioactive ruins, hardy robots are far better suited for the task than fleshy, fallible humans. However, communicating with these machines in irradiated environments is tricky because their chips can be “frazzled” by the relentless bombardment of ionizing radiation. To overcome this problem, researchers at the … Read more
