SK hynix makes edible chips shaped like semiconductors

South Korea’s semiconductor giant SK hynix has introduced a new snack shaped like its HBM chips, called “Honey Banana Mat” (HBM). The crunchy 385-calorie chips, sold at 7-Eleven stores, are inspired by the company’s high-bandwidth memory semiconductors used in AI systems.

The edible chips are a fun way to make semiconductors more familiar to the public, blending technological design with taste. The initiative follows similar experiments by competitors, such as Samsung’s limited-edition QD Ramen in 2022.

Robot breaks world record with 66-mile walk

Chinese tech firm AgiBot earned a Guinness World Record when its humanoid robot, A2, went for a 66-mile walk from Jiangsu Province to Shanghai.

Carola Weidemann adopted Pumuckel in 2020 when he was five months old and just 18 inches tall, saying she was shocked by how tiny he was. Guinness confirmed his height at the withers, making him the shortest living male horse and about an inch and a half shorter than the previous record-holder.

Pumuckel is trained as a therapy horse and visits nursing homes, hospices, schools and disability centres. Weidemann said he has a loving nature, is great with children and enjoys cuddles and attention.
