Satellite circuitry is exposed to two types of space radiation: ionizing, to which circuits are inherently resistant; and heavy ions that call for bulky shielding, triple-redundant design and hardening, each of which adds to fabrication cost. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are...
