Next-generation AI semiconductor device verified to withstand space radiation
South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute said on Wednesday a joint team has, for the first time, verified next-generation AI semiconductor technology that operates stably in a space-radiation environment. The team made an indium-gallium-zinc oxide-based synaptic transistor and tested it with a high-energy proton beam equivalent to more than 20 years of exposure in low Earth orbit. It retained switching and synaptic plasticity despite some performance degradation.

Gallium-68 core technology secured to localise drug for intractable cancer diagnosis
South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute said on Feb. 13 they had secured all key component technologies for a gallium-68 generator, laying the groundwork to localise radiopharmaceuticals used to diagnose intractable cancers. The team developed an adsorption material that selectively elutes gallium-68 and reported about 70 percent elution efficiency. It can produce radiopharmaceuticals for six patients per elution and is usable for a year.
