This is a terrible idea. Is there really no way to make silocon and rare earth metals recyclable?

Read the fucking article. They're replacing certain components, not the actual silicon.

Stop reading titles and forming dumb opinions

Enraging isn't it? They just read a headline and spout off like "Oh I definitely know that the scientists at the Soft Matter Physics lab of Johannes Kepler University in Austria are MORONS. They didn't even think about how mushrooms ROT before they decided to make COMPUTER CHIPS WITH THEM? God I should probably run that whole lab... we'd on Mars by now!"

You don't need to recycle silicon, that's cheap and abundant enough. The rare earth metals, yes.

Anyway, hopefully this isn't a technology for commercial/consumer use, but for very specific cases, where you actually need the electronics to degrade after some time.
