Strong but stretchy, apparently.

    Another win for the AI robots

    So…

    What’s your spaghetti policy here?

      Just like with cancer vaccines, fusion and certain incurable viral vaccines

      Maybe we will, maybe we won’t, but at least it’s tech news for a change. 😄

      I thought the same thing about soft, bend-able screens. But that became a fairly big thing.

        What is the next big thing you’re thinking will fail? I gotta invest some pennies

          quantum computing once they break meaningful encryption, not 2 bit RSA. it’ll be super overhyped, become super important, and then it’ll settle down a bit once everyone switches to new encryption algorithms

    The one advantage we have over the machines is that their chips are destructible. Can we stop this research?

      “almost” indestructable, i bet some sort of acid or lava could do the job if not a diamond laced sanding wheel.

      No worries. This chip we can just eat.

        We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don’t get stale.

    This is interesting in a “how far can you launch a pumpkin using an air canon” way, not a “you only need to cool this down to -40C to make it super conduct” way. It’s a fun experiment with nearly zero practical purpose outside of some very niche edge cases. Wearable computing is probably the only realistic one at the moment for a CPU that you can stretch a little and runs incredibly slow.

      Wearable computing is a huge market if you can literally embed this into clothing.

      Massive

      Ehh. Old 8-bit machines had no trouble with the veritable Gordian knots written by kids in their bedrooms back in the day, so any chip’s gonna be fine.

      That’s not to say this chip wouldn’t run it better…

    By stretchy do they mean slightly less brittle and thus slightly more impact resistant? Not that this is a problem we need solving. The biggest issues we need to solve in technology are batter and glass

    That’s kinda interesting. My first thought on seeing that image, though, was ‘ramen + autism = good!’
