Technology may be shrinking, but its reach has never been greater. Devices that once filled entire rooms can now fit on the tip of a needle. This miniaturization is not just about space-saving; it’s ...

In his 1963 scifi story “The Invincible,” the Polish writer Stanisław Lem imagined an artificial species of free-floating nanobots which roamed the atmosphere of a far-off planet. Like tiny bugs, the ...

If you are looking for the next disruptive technology headed for the enterprise: think dust. No, not small grains of sand, soot or dirt but similarly sized particles that have a brain. Smart dust, a ...

The SM-PWM-01-A (527-SM-PWM-01A) is a smart dust sensor featuring a constant forced air convection typically used for dust detection in air and indoor air quality monitoring. It can detect a particle ...

Disposable sensing and communications systems converge into a cubic-millimeter bundle. Advances in miniaturization, integration and energy management show that a complete wireless sensor/communication ...
