The transistor was able to operate normally at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1112 F (600 C). (Image credit: Science Graphics)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,
