Electronics built on current technology typically works best at low temperatures. For certain applications, very low temperatures (even as low as 0K) are ideal, as conductivity increases and approaches superconductivity at this temperature.
Superconductivity means no loss of energy in heat, and allows for certain electronic devices to operate much more efficiently and potentially faster than at higher temperatures.
However, today's practical electronics are not designed for operation at very low temperature. Some electronic components, such as some forms of resistors or capacitors will fail at low temperatures. Other components, including the solder, wires, the circuit board and all mechanical parts including connectors would become fragile, brittle, or otherwise struggle.
Today's electronics are normally rated for operation in a 0..70C temperature range (commercial grade), -40..+85C (industrial grade) and -55..+125 (military grade).
For a rule of thumb and for today's practical electronics, "room temperature" is a good operating temperature regardless of theoretical advantages of superconductivity.

Do electronics work in the desert?
Yes, electronics work in the desert.
Why do electronics get hot?
Electronics works on the basis of Electrons performing work in a controlled manner. Just like you would break into a sweat doing hard work on a hot humid day, electronics doing their designed functions will generate heat from the "work". That's why computers and computer power supplies are built with cooling fans, as you use the electronic device (computer, radio, TV, etc.), you're requiring the electronics to "work" and will expend some electricity (in doing the "work") as heat, much like sweat to you and me.
How do electronics work?
There are a number of components in any circuit and their job is to restrict the flow of electrons and reduce the current or voltage flowing by converting electrical energy to heat. In other terms, electronics control the electrical circuit. Electric charge is nothing but the flow of electrons from one object to another. The working of the microwave is the example of how electronics work. In a microwave, electricity provides the power that generates high-energy waves that cook your food and electronics controls the electrical circuit that does the cooking.
What degree would I need to work in electronics manufacturing?
If you're thinking about a career in electronics manufacturing, getting the right qualifications would give you a head start. Universities with an engineering or electronics department offer a variety of courses which can let you specialise in particular branches of electronics such as photonics, ultrasonics and lasers.
Why work at Frys electronics?
Fry's Electronics is a home grown California business. It started as a grocery store, but was changed by the owner's heirs. Not only do they sell computers, they sell components to build your own.
How do insulators work for heat and cold?
Insulators work by slowing down the transfer of heat or cold through their material. For heat, insulators have low thermal conductivity, meaning they do not allow heat to pass through easily. For cold, insulators trap warm air within their structure, preventing the outside cold from seeping in.
Did anybody ever researched on if ants work better in the heat or in the cold?
This helped allot with my daughters science fair project for school! thank you ask.com!
Heat does not work in the front but it work in the back?
actuator could be defaulted, causing the blend doors not open from heat to cold.
Cold and heat fatigue resistance?
Cold and heat fatigue is one of the main forms of failure of hot work dies, and the molds for supporting pictures should have high resistance to cold and heat fatigue.
Do batteries work better cold than room temperature and hot?
Yes, cold weather does make phone die faster.
Will a catalytic converters work better when they get hot if its cloged?
It will not work better if it is hot or cold if it is clogged. Replace it.
How does cold heat work?
The COLD-HEAT soldering iron is simply a resistive soldering set in a small package. Search google for "resistive soldering".
Does borax work better in hot or cold?
Hot
A heat pump does work on this so you can keep your veggies cold?
Refrigerant

How can an air conditioner be used to heat a room?
Install it backwards. This does not work in very cold climates.
