Scientists at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have created electronic devices that continue to function perfectly in both extreme cold and extreme heat. In a press release on Monday, the researchers said their devices, made of gallium oxide, can withstand temperatures ranging from near absolute zero to 500°C (932°F).For context, every component in the device you are reading this on would likely fail before 200°C (392°F).
The devices could have far-reaching applications across space applications where extreme temperature swings are the norm.
