Space Forge, a U.K.-based startup, is revolutionizing semiconductor production by proposing to manufacture advanced materials in space using unique conditions that yield higher quality crystals. Recently securing £22.6 million in funding, the company is focused on leveraging low-defect crystal structures for applications in sectors like 5G technology, quantum computing, and defense systems. With existing partnerships, including with NATO Innovation Fund and Northrop Grumman, Space Forge aims to establish itself as a crucial player in the tech industry's move toward more efficient manufacturing methods, tapping into decades of prior research in the field.
"We're stood on the shoulders of about 50 years of research when it comes to not only knowing that this is possible, but also knowing that there is a profound improvement in doing so."
"The whole idea of making chips in orbit may sound like science fiction, but its feasibility has been known since the 1970s."
