In Brief Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to anyone still haunted by nightmares of the T-1000 robotic assassin from “Terminator 2.” A team led by Matthew Devlin of UC Santa Barbara described this work in a paper recently published in Science, writing that the vision of “cohesive collectives of robotic units that can arrange into virtually an

WTF?! A Reddit user claims to have discovered an entire 12nm TSMC wafer discarded in a dumpster near one of the chipmaker's fabs in China.

The Reddit user who shared the pictures, AVX512-VNNI, claims to have found the wafer near TSMC's Fab 16 factory in Nanjing, China.
