“Nobody’s ever written a Star Trek episode about the world’s smallest microchip, only about the world’s smallest computer. Now, a team from the University of Michigan has built not just a very small microchip, but a whole functioning computer, and it’s less than a cubic millimeter in size. Called the Michigan Micro Mote, or M³, this tiny computer features processing, data storage, and wireless communication. Researcher Pabral Dutta thinks it will be the ‘next revolution in computing.’  The technology works with a very low-powered and low-range wireless standard to broadcast its latest state every few minutes.  To power the M³, researchers fitted it with a tiny solar cell.”
