Researchers have developed a type of flash memory storage that can withstand temperatures higher than the surface of Venus
Modern SSDs are an engineering wonder. They're extremely fast and very reliable, despite being housed next to massive heat-belching graphics cards in gaming PCs. But like all silicon-based chips, they have limits to how hot they can run before losing data or failing completely. However, two teams of researchers have developed a type of flash memory that's capable of retaining data at temperatures that make an afternoon on Venus look cold in comparison.
