USA Develops New World’s Smallest Computer “Michigan Micro Mote”- Details, Features, Uses
Researchers at the University of Michigan in the United States have come out with the world’s smallest “computer”, a device measuring just 0.3 mm to a side, completely dwarfed by a grain of rice.
In addition to the RAM and photovoltaics, the new micro-computing device, 'Michigan Micro Mote' has processors and wireless transmitters and receivers.
The Michigan Micro Mote consists of a processor, system memory, a base station, wireless transmitters and it receives and transmits data with visible light. It uses photovoltaics, a method of converting light into electricity, for sending and receiving data. The base station provides light for power and programming, and it receives the data.
Earlier, the smallest computer by the University of Michigan was the 2x2x4mm Michigan Micro Mote, which could retain their programming and data even when they were not externally powered
The world's smallest computer, Michigan Micro Mote, could be completely dwarfed by a grain of rice and can be used in oncology research also. The study and treatment of tumors Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.
