This Wi-Fi receiver can work inside a nuclear reactor, keeping robots connected

Highly anticipated: A team in Japan has developed a Wi-Fi receiver capable of operating in the extreme radiation inside nuclear reactors, an advance that could help robotics teams safely decommission aging power plants. The receiver, developed at the Institute of Science Tokyo, demonstrated resilience under radiation doses roughly 1,000 times higher than what typical electronics can withstand.
