The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

This stretchable technology goes beyond expanding its size, though, as you can freely twist, extrude, and fold it without damaging the screen.

Malls could use this screens around columns. It would probably make those phones’ edges easier to make. Foldable screens could benefit from this too. As you said dashboards in cars would be prettier. Since they’re malleable, it would probably be easier to make curved displays. Your watch could display information around your wrist. Fashion people could even use this thing around necks and wrists. I don’t know, I could think many industries could use this.

Sit down to read a book, stretch your phone screen out to a comfortable holding size to read. Could be nice.
