Caltech Develops 'Indestructible' Self-Healing Microchips For Computers and Smartphones !!!

A team of engineers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has developed a way to create computer chips that can repair themselves. The new chips can reportedly fix problems “ranging from less-than-ideal battery power to total transistor failure” in microseconds.

The new hi-tech chips were created at the High-Speed Integrated Circuits laboratory in Caltech’s Division of Engineering and Applied Science. There, the team demonstrated the chips’ self-healing capability via tiny power amplifiers. These new chips are so small that 76 of them can fit on a single penny. The team tested their self-healing ability by destroying various parts with a laser – the chips automatically developed a work-around in less than a second.
