A team of engineers has created a breakthrough memory device that keeps working at temperatures hotter than molten lava, shattering one of electronics’ biggest limits. Built from an unusual stack of ultra-durable materials, the tiny component can store data and perform calculations even at 700°C (1300°F), far beyond what today’s chips can handle. The discovery was partly accidental, but it revealed a powerful new mechanism that prevents heat-induced failure at the atomic level.
