Toward computers that fit on a pen tip: New technologies usher in the millimeter-scale computing era

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Feb. 23, 2011) — A prototype implantable eye pressure monitor for glaucoma patients is believed to contain the first complete millimeter-scale computing system.

And a compact radio that needs no tuning to find the right frequency could be a key enabler to organizing millimeter-scale systems into wireless sensor networks. These networks could one day track pollution, monitor structural integrity, perform surveillance, or make...
