Stanford Team Builds Nano Devices Capable of Enduring Extreme Environments in Space and on Earth

Venus has a very hot surface hidden behind its thick swirling clouds. The planet is pelted with sulfuric acid rains, and has a temperature of 480 °C, which would burn any of the electronics used currently on Earth. This creates a huge challenge for researchers hoping to explore this extreme environment.
