minus-square@BreakDecks@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish25•6 months agoMight be hard to assemble the functional part of a phone inside of a crystal, and you can’t bake the whole thing because silicon isn’t surviving 2000oC for 2 days.
minus-square@givesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish12•6 months agoYeah, but it was a lot harder to make regular aluminum back in the day as well. Increasing ductility isn’t impossible, but it probably is unlikely in this case. But two halves that get glued/sealed together permanently would be possible.
