Eric Wille: Catching X-rays in stacked silicon
10 Views • Dec 21, 2016
Description
Polishing and stacking together silicon wafers – normally used to manufacture integrated circuits – allows the focusing of X-rays to see far further into space. ESA shares the patent for this technology with Cosine Research, the Dutch company currently developing it.
The mission launch is 12 years away, but work von preparing its silicon pore optics module is already well underway.
