"While Venus is billed as Earth’s twin, in reality it could not be much different.

The clouds rain sulfuric acid and surface temperatures hover around 480°C — so hot that Earthly electronics begin to fail, if they don’t melt first.

Senesky is at the forefront of a new wave of electronics engineering of devices that can withstand such extreme temperatures, corrosiveness and radiation. Join her for a fascinating look at the future of extreme electronics."
