    'Extreme' transistor can withstand heat of more than 1,000 degrees F — priming it for use in Venus-bound probes (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Scientists in Japan have built a new transistor that can withstand temperatures of 1,110 degrees Fahrenheit (600 degrees Celsius). Components this robust could one day be used in surface probes on Venus — where the thick carbon dioxide atmosphere can reach temperatures of 860 F (460 C). Most modern tech, including instruments used for deep-space exploration, uses transistors to control the flow of current. But the new device is a type of junction field-effect transistor (JFET), where the strengt

    'Beyond human intuition': AI designs chip components 500 times smaller than what engineers could ever imagine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Scientists have successfully shrunk three components used in photonic microchips by up to 500 times, leaving considerably more space for other on-chip functionality. The achievement was made possible with an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that generated these tiny designs, which the researchers described as "beyond human intuition." Whereas conventional microchips use electrons to transmit and process information, photonic microchips utilize particles of light (photons). They can therefo
