Chips are the bedrock of our economy. And yet, all of those chips really have a Goldilocks zone when it comes to when they work. Goldilocks in the traditional sense of like not too hot, not too cold. The this research is getting to that not too hot part. You know, the Papa Bear that uh that was like too hot, the porridge was too hot. Now, we're getting a chip that can withstand that porridge. Okay. Um, these are memory chips that happen in

They're all designed to work reliably roughly between 85° C, so 200 Fahrenheit for our Americans to about 150° C, so 300 Fahrenheit. Okay, that's where they sit. and industrial fat flash memory tops out at around 200° C even with a lot of the heroic packaging where you try to insulate temperature and things like that and above that there's essentially nothing that works
