You have probably seen Captchas - puzzles that ask you to pick out all the bicycles in an image or to decipher letters that are written in squiggly lines. These riddles are designed to let you buy concert tickets or sign up for Netflix but keep out someone who is using computers to hammer a bank website with bogus credit card applications or employing rapid-fire software to buy video game consoles before you have a chance.Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesti

That doesn’t mean you’ll have toadstools mounted on the motherboard. A paper published in the journal Science Advances (and spotted by ZDNet) details the process that uses only mushrooms’ skin to create a biodegradable base for electronics.

Wood isn’t usually very good at conducting electricity, but now scientists have created the first functional wooden transistor. It’s not the best, and it requires some processing, but it does work and could help make for biodegradable electronics.

Emerging AI applications, like chatbots that generate natural human language, demand denser, more powerful computer chips. But semiconductor chips are traditionally made with bulk materials, which are boxy 3D structures, so stacking multiple layers of transistors to create denser integrations is very difficult.

Chromebooks have always been a popular option for schools due to the relatively cheap prices, but they exploded in popularity during the Covid pandemic as kids did their schoolwork from home. However, they may not be such a good deal after all, according to a new report called Chromebook Churn from the US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG).
