Represented the smallest computer in the world

Before you, Michigan Micro Mote is the smallest standalone computer in the world. One and a half hundreds of such devices are placed in a thimble. Its creators say that the computer, which began to be developed more than ten years ago, works as a smart sensor that can combine ordinary things into a single network.

Michigan Micro Mote is the first full-fledged working computer system with a size of just two millimeters wide. A fully-fledged computer system is one that can receive data, process it, store it and know what to do with it. Undoubtedly, it should be able to output processed information.

David Blau, a professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, says that the input device is a sensor, the output device is a radio transmitter. In addition, a full-fledged computer must provide itself with energy independently. Micro Mote can. The device is equipped with solar cells, which charge the battery with ambient light, and not necessarily of natural origin. This allows a tiny computer to work in a constant mode.

Despite its miniature dimensions, Micro Mote can photograph, record the temperature and pressure values. Researchers hope to find use of a microcomputer in various fields, from medicine to industry.

Miniature sizes of Micro Mote allow it to enter the human body, where it can conduct electrocardiography, measure pressure and body temperature. The microcomputer can also be used to search for oil deposits.

At the University of Michigan believe that the Micro Mote is a great way to keep things from getting lost. Users who care about their security can purchase several microcomputers and connect them to keys, wallet or any other valuable thing. Combined with one computer network things will always prompt their location.

According to David Blau, most of the place in the mobile phone is taken by the battery. Thus, by lowering the level of energy consumption, it will be possible to reduce the size of the battery and, as a result, the entire system, the researcher says.

As reported by CBS News, Micro Mote is already ready for production. The research team is not going to stop there and plans to create even smaller computers, which it calls smart dust.
