GE Scientists Demonstrate Ultra-High Temperature SiC MOSFET Electronics

June 01, 2023
  • First believed SiC MOSFETs that can operate at temperatures exceeding 800 degrees C.
  • New temperature tolerance threshold believed to set a record for MOSFET based electronics
  • Could enable robust, reliable electronics to support space exploration and to control and monitor hypersonic vehicles in extreme high temperature operating environments

NISKAYUNA, NY – Thursday, June 1, 2023 – A team of scientists from GE Research have set a new record, demonstrating SiC MOSFETs (Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effec

GE Research Awarded NASA Grant to Develop High Temperature Solutions to Enhance Missions to Venus

January 05, 2022
  • GE researchers applying novel silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode technology to develop and demonstrate a UV imager that reliably operates in hot and harsh environments of 500 degrees Celsius (932 degrees Fahrenheit) to study the composition and structure of Venus’ surface and atmosphere
  • Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System, with extreme atmospheric pressures and surface temperatures of 475 degrees Celsius, or 900 degrees Fahrenheit, similar to a wood-fired pizza oven
  • High temperature, ruggedized electronics are essential for enabling long-term robotic exp

Spaced Out: New Batch Of Data From The Edge Of The Solar System Keeps Scientists Starry-Eyed

Amy Kover
November 17, 2019
“Interstellar medium” sounds like a psychic with super-long-distance capabilities, but it’s actually a region of space just beyond the heliosphere — the bubble in the solar system that holds the eight planets (plus poor downgraded Pluto). Created by the solar wind, the bubble is what protects the planetary system, including us, from galactic radiation. But what happens at the edge of the bubble?

The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Sam Worley
January 07, 2019
As we blast off into a brave new year, this week’s most notable scientific advances have us contemplating childbirth in space, ever more precise ways to look into the human heart, and artificial-intelligence technology that can generate speech simply from reading brain waves. Plus: glass as you’ve never seen it before.
