    PC Gamer regurgitating the abstract of a random research paper makes baby jesus cry.

      Of course: baby Jesus hates popularization of science or engineering. Baby Jesus loves your money and obedience.

          Regurgitation without critical thought is

          called synopsis and is a vital part of “popularization of science or engineering”

          Also sprach Zarathustra.

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

        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.

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

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

    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.

    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

    they should put that in clothing, there’s probably tons of medical uses for this
