A new tech can withstand the scorching heat of a volcano and the intense temperatures within a jet engine.

Engineers at the University of Michigan have unveiled a high-tech solid-state memory device that can endure temperatures exceeding 1,100°F (600°C). This fiery temperature surpasses even the hellish conditions of Venus's surface and the melting point of lead.

The device’s resilience opens new possibilities for electronics in high-temperature environments like fusion reactors and jet engines. Delve further into Must-Read.

MUST-READ

🧠 New solid-state memory tech keeps working in extreme 1,000°F heat

The new memory device moves away from conventional silicon-based designs, which falter at high temperatures.

Instead, it leverages a unique mechanism that stores and rewrites information using negatively charged oxygen atoms. The result is a memory system that remains stable even in sweltering conditions.

"It could enable electronic devices that didn't exist for high-temperature applications before. With more development and investment, it could in theory hold megabytes or gigabytes of data," said Yiyang Li, assistant professor at the University of Michigan.

🤖 Elon Musk’s Optimus robot can navigate hill with new brain tech

Aiming to stay ahead in the robotics game, Tesla is constantly fine-tuning the new generation of its general-purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot Optimus.

The Optimus can now navigate uneven terrain with advanced neural nets, enabling precise control of its electric limbs for seamless movement.

In the new video shared by Tesla’s founder Elon Musk, Optimus is now seen autonomously climbing hills and walking on uneven terrain.

🌊 World’s 1st single-photon laser radar can reach 3,280 feet below sea

Researchers from Xiamen University in China have been awarded the 2023 “Best Paper Prize” from Applied Optics for their work on a single-photon Raman lidar system.

This new technology is highly sensitive and uses a low-noise single-photon detector. Interestingly, it could be valuable for underwater applications such as ocean surveys, oil spill detection, and deep-sea exploration.

The device stands out because of its relatively small size, very low power consumption, and ability to operate at depths up to 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) below sea level.
