Scientists have built what they are calling the first dust-sized sensors that can be implanted in the body to monitor internal nerves, muscles or organs in real time. Engineers at The University of ...
They’re tiny, wireless, battery-less sensors no larger than a piece of sand. But in the future, these “neural dust” sensors could be used to power prosthetics, monitor organ health and track the ...
Kris Pister has been fiddling with smart dust since the 1990s. Originally, the idea was to deploy dust-sized sensors randomly around the environment, so the Earth could be monitored in real-time.
