Nasa Develops Chips That Withstand 500 degrees Celsius
A team of Nasaa scientists have developed a chip that can operate at high temperatures and which did not need a cooling solution attached.
It has been tested for more than 1700 hrs of continuous operationation temperature of 500 degreec celcius, while other chips would have melt in such conditions.
Name of the chip kept by the scintists is ‘’silicon carbide differential amplifier integrated circuit”.
This chip represents a turning point as it increases the tolerance levels by more than 100 times over the previous attempts at building a computer chip that could operate for extended periods of time at very high temperatures.
