Researchers studied how temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius would affect electronic devices made from gallium nitride, a key step in their multiyear research effort to develop electronics that can operate in extremely hot environments, like the surface of Venus. Credit: MIT News; iStock
Researchers are turning to gallium nitride for high-temperature applications such as DOI: 10.1063/5.0191297
