World's Smallest Computer Created

Researchers recently unveiled the first complete millimeter-scale computing system that is about the size of the letter "N" on the back of a penny (or about the same size of the letter as it appears in this sentence).

The computing system – the tiniest fabricated to date – is a prototype of an implantable eye pressure monitor for glaucoma patients. In another important development, the unit can also link up with other computers to form wireless sensor networks. A new super-compact radio that needs no tuning to find the right communications frequency enables these computers to speak to each other.

One day, the Lilliputian devices could track pollution, monitor structural integrity, perform surveillance, or make virtually any object smart and traceable.
