Engineers at Stanford Develop Ant-Size Radio to Realize the 'Internet of Things'
Oct. 7, 2014
The 'Internet of Things' could soon be contained in a radio the size of an ant.
Stanford University engineers have developed a small radio about as large as an ant. The amazing thing about this mini radio is that it is small and cheap and may help realize the "Internet of Things"--
The radio is built on a piece of silicon and measures only a few millimeters on each side. Several of these mini radios can fit on top of a U.S. penny and the radio itself is expected to cost only a few pennies to manufacture in mass quantities.
