"The sensor network is designed so the chips can be implanted into the body or integrated into wearable devices. Each submillimeter-sized silicon sensor mimics how neurons in the brain communicate through spikes of electrical activity. The sensors detect specific events as spikes and then transmit that data wirelessly in real-time using radio waves, saving both energy and bandwidth."
"This radiofrequency transmission scheme also makes the system scalable and tackles a common problem with current sensor communication networks: they all need to be perfectly synced to work well."
This innovative method furthers the development of wireless sensor technology and opens the door to the potential use of vast numbers of unobtrusive sensors in implantable and wearable biomedical microdevices in the future. Tiny chips may equal a big breakthrough for a team of scientists led by B
