World’s Smallest Computer Of One Square Millimetre, Developed By UK Scientists..

Scientists at the University of Michigan, UK, have come out with what they claim as world’s smallest computer that measures just one square millimetre. The computer is so tiny that it could fit into human’s eyeball. The developers of the device claim that they have used third generation Phoenix chip that supports the device work at low power consumption. With just about one square millimetre size, the device is packed with a pressure sensor, a battery and a microprocessor among other equipments.

Further, the device has a wireless radio connected to antenna that would transmit data to external device. The radio is developed in such a way that it requires no tuning to set frequency for connecting it to other wireless devices. “This is the first true millimetre-scale complete computing system. Our work is unique in the sense that we're thinking about complete systems in which all the components are low-power and fit on the chip. We can collect data, store it and transmit it. The applications for systems of this size are endless,” the University Professors Dennis Sylvester was quoted as saying. The nano device will take many years to get launched for commercial purposes. Once launched it is reported to address several issues and would largely to useful for medical purposes.
