Chips that compute “at lightning speed” that’s literally ANY electronics
Our brain runs an astonishingly powerful supercomputer on roughly the same electrical power as a dim 20-watt refrigerator bulb
Oh yeah? How much power is that? Is it roughly the same electrical power as a slow 20-watt phone charger?
Not to mention a 20 watt bulb would be blindingly bright unless it’s an incandescent bulb or something. It uses the same power as a useless 20-watt toaster, or a punchy 20-watt desk speaker, or a compact 20-watt fan: about 20 watts.
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:
The immediate application lies in bendable medical patches and short-term wearable monitors that process health data directly on the body and dissolve when no longer needed.
I mean, I can think of uses. They are extremely nitch, 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.
There could be medical applications
