About this technology

Overview

An all-in-one, single-board computer module can withstand 900ºF conditions without a cooling system thanks to Glenn Research Center expertise in extreme-temperature technology. SBIR funding also helped Ozark Integrated Circuits Inc. of Fayetteville, Arkansas, create its eXtreme Nodes modules to support geothermal drilling, nuclear power plants, and other industries on Earth, as well as, perhaps, a future Venus lander.
