New radiation-resistant electronic circuit can last for over 270 years in harsh space

SMRTR summary

Researchers at Fudan University developed radiation-resistant electronics using atom-thin molybdenum disulfide that successfully operated in space for nine months with perfect data transmission. The revolutionary material, just 0.7 nanometers thick, allows radiation particles to pass through without causing damage, potentially enabling satellites to last 271 years without heavy shielding.
