Printable brain-inspired chips that compute at lightning speed and vanish in minutes
In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers have built a flexible and ultra-fast artificial synapse printed entirely from room-temperature liquid inks that dissolves on demand in six minutes. The work shows that high-performance and brain-inspired hardware does not require extreme vacuum chambers, rare metals, or permanent electronic waste.
Chips that compute “at lightning speed” that’s literally ANY electronics
Send in the cleanup squad, they know too much
I don’t get why you’d want a computer to be dissolvable or bendable…
Sure it doesn’t seem like that would matter, but they seem to be trying to spin it as some sort of advantage?
FTA:
There could be medical applications
Sounds sinister to me.
I mean, I can think of uses. They are extremely niche, such as a low-impact self-destructable rubber ducky, or a use case where you don’t want waste left around. But yeah I can’t think of many.
