Flying Microchips The Size Of A Sand Grain, Used For Population Surveillance
Privacy? Forget About It - Smallest-Ever Human Made Flying Structure Is A Winged Microchip, Scientists Say Can Be Used For 'Population Surveillance & Control'...
It's neither a bird nor a plane, but a winged microchip as small as a grain of sand that can be carried by the wind as it monitors such things as pollution levels or the spread of airborne diseases.
The tiny microfliers, whose development by engineers at Northwestern University was detailed in an article published by Nature this week, are being billed as the smallest-ever human-made flying structures.
