Tereza is a London-based science and technology journalist, aspiring fiction writer and amateur gymnast. Originally from Prague, the Czech Republic, she spent the first seven years of her career working as a reporter, script-writer and presenter for various TV programmes of the Czech Public Service Television.

Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesA novel shielding material will protect Nvidia's AI Jetson Orin NX GPU in Earth orbit. The mini computer is set to launch soon on SpaceX's Transporter 11 mission.AI is about to take a major leap to conquer the final frontier.

While AI has taken the world by storm in recent years, the technology's deployment in orbit has been slow. Outside ofhammer satellites, threatening their electronics. For computers to survive in space, they must be hardened — made of resilient materials and designed to withstand high doses of radiation. But to make a computer fit for space takes years. Satellite manufacturers therefore often have to make do with rather obsolete processors.

Georgia-based Cosmic Shielding Corporation , a spin-out from Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, thinks it has a solution to the problem. The company has developed a special nanocomposite shielding metamaterial — a kind of polymer interspersed with nanoparticles — that stops the charged particles in their tracks.rideshare mission that could launch as early as this Friday — will mark the first time that the shielding protects a real AI computer on a space mission.

"Every single one of these companies is interested in using the most modern AI-capable hardware," said Barghouty."On Earth, AI is having a massive effect on efficiency of electronic systems, and the space industry wants to tap into that. For years, Moore's law only applied on Earth. But with our technology, it will also apply in orbit."The shielding will also make computers last longer in space, increasing the lifetime of missions and saving cost.

She later took a career break to pursue further education and added a Master's in Science from the International Space University, France, to her Bachelor's in Journalism and Master's in Cultural Anthropology from Prague's Charles University. She worked as a reporter at the Engineering and Technology magazine, freelanced for a range of publications including Live Science, Space.
