Over small changes in temperature, if the right semiconductor is used, the resistance of the material is linearly proportional to the temperature. There are many different semiconducting thermistors with a range from about 0.01 kelvin to 2,000 kelvins (â273.14 Â°C to 1,700 Â°C).
If you do feel the need to put them in the fridge, they can tolerate up to 3 days of cold storage if they are used soon as they are removed from the refrigerator. Seems that cucumbers are susceptible to cold injury if held more than 3 days at temperatures lower than 50F/10C. Signs of cold injury are wateriness, pitting on the outside and accelerated decay. Another factoid: Cucumbers are sensitive to ethylene gas, which is put off by some ripening fruits and vegetables.
The Best Place to Store Cucumbers. According to a post at Root Simple, cucumbers should be stored at room temperature â not in the refrigerator. Root Simple cites the University of California, Davis, which determined that cucumbers are sensitive to temperatures below 50Â°F. When stored at room temperature, cucumbers thrive and last longer.
