This new chip survives 1300øF (700øC) and could change AI forever
A heat-proof memory device that thrives at 700øC could transform everything from space exploration to AI computing.

Summary:
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 700øC (1300øF), 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.

Memristors, fast matrix multiplication, cheaper AI memory.

That looks like a very interesting result. Mass producing the graphene
layer may be tricky, but high temperature electronics could have lot of different application.

Tungsten has the highest melting point of any element, 3,695 K. Hafnium
oxide melts at 3,031 K, so it isn't far behind.

Frankly, this reads like a belated April fools day joke.
"It dould change AI forever", right!

University publicity departments aren't great at checking their
publicity puffs with the people whose work they imagine that they are publicising. Any publicity clown has to put in a reference to AI these
days. The point about a layer of graphene blocking the usual solid state diffusion is what got my attention. Whether this is the right way of
looking at the results is likely to get tested - it's an interesting
result, but so were the results that triggered the cold fusion
controversy. Some odd results are just odd.
