China’s new flexible fibre chip can survive being run over by a 15.6-ton truck

  Is 15.7 the limit?

    Yes, after they will behave like papadoms.

    The biggest truck they could find was a GM HummEV at 15.6 tons.

  Can it survive a pair of scissors?

    Or a rock? Or paper even!

  Can’t really imagine a situation in where this kind of a chip used under the weight of a 15.6T truck. Why even mention truck? Just say that it can withstand "X"tonnes/cm^2. No need for these American measuring standards

    It’s the size of 1/825 washing machines

  I hate it when they give ambiguous testing figures like “getting run over by a 15.6 ton truck”, it’s not accurate because it isn’t specific. Do they mean a wheel pushing directly onto the chip? Or is it just getting quickly run over? Are they doing burnouts on the chip? Is the chip stuck down on the presumably regular road, or is it just tossed there?

  So many things could happen, the chip gets scratched and becomes unusable, the chip survives because it was stuck to the floor, the chip survives/dies because the truck went too slow/fast, etc.

  I haven’t read the article yet tho, imma read it now to see if there’s any context to this.

  This is the most obvious slop article I’ve seen in a while. That or it’s written by a literal middle schooler.

  Might be useful in some extreme environments, like deep sea exploration or planetary probes. Of course that depends on if the rest of the probe can survive.

  A revolution in processing that can be integrated in everything. Sounds like commenters have a China problem…

    What do you mean integrated in everything? Who fucking counts pressure in truck-tonnes?
