Engineers built a memory device that keeps functioning at temperatures hotter than molten lava. 700°C. Normal chips fail around 125°C.

Where would you even use this? Inside jet engines. Deep geothermal sensors. Spacecraft re-entry. Places where electronics currently just die.

Not going in your phone but an interesting piece of engineering.

Silicon-carbon battery design. The energy density has always been there — the problem was stability, they’d degrade fast. New design addresses that.

If it performs outside the lab the way it does inside: Apple and Samsung could ship phones that last significantly longer. Not a little longer. Significantly.

The lab-to-product gap is real and often long. But this one has the right people paying attention.
