### AI overview

Chips used in space, defense, quantum computing and other harsh settings must withstand combined stresses such as radiation, thermal cycling, vibration and pressure. AI-assisted design and simulation can help engineers explore designs and identify vulnerabilities earlier, while physical testing remains necessary to validate how hardware behaves under real conditions.

### Source excerpt

Orbital data centers, defense systems, quantum computing, particle physics, and advanced manufacturing are raising the bar for simulation, test, and lab tools. The post Extreme Environments Push Chips To Their Breaking Point appeared first on Semiconductor Engineering.
