Cypak creates disposable paperboard computer

"Swedish technology company Cypak AB, has created the world's first disposable paperboard computer by integrating innovative microelectronics and printable sensors into paperboard."





I "predicted" disposable laptops in a short-story contained in my 1995 book "Illumined Black." Only they were manufactured by Hyundai . . .

Figuratively speaking (?), this one's after my own heart:

First robot moved by muscle power

"A silicon microrobot just half the width of a human hair has begun to crawl around in a Los Angeles lab, using legs powered by the pulsing of living heart muscle. It is the first time muscle tissue has been used to propel a micromachine."
