QUANTUM DOT UTILITY FOG. "A individual micromachine of Utility Fog was called a 'foglet', which reacted with numerous other foglets through its tweleve tiny arms. A individual substance of Quantum Dot Utility Fog could be called a "Qmote", for Quantum Mote, and would follow the same interactions minus the mechanics." https://lnkd.in/d3fctT6 View in LinkedIn

"A QMOTE could emit photons or absorb photons for communication and power, modulate their magnetic force for motive action, and configure there electron confinement for correct optical effects." https://lnkd.in/d3fctT6 View in LinkedIn

SMART DUST TO BECOME BIG. "According to futurist Alvin Toffler in Investor’s Business Daily, smart dust is likely to be the core industries of the future world. The ARC Advisory Group reports the potential net sales of smart dust should reach the level of $344 million by this year." https://lnkd.in/dM29NTS View in LinkedIn

BRAIN SENSORS. "Berkeley researchers are proposing to sprinkle the brain with sensors to monitor neurons and uncover ways to treat, prevent, and cure brain disorders." https://lnkd.in/dM29NTS View in LinkedIn

BIOHYBRID DUST. "We report a hybrid microdevice that is powered by ATP and relies on antibody-functionalized microtubules and kinesin motors to transport the target analyte into a detection region." Small and semi-autonomous robots. http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v4/n3/abs/nnano.2008.393.html View in LinkedIn

BIOSENSORS. "Owing to their small size and autonomous function, we envision that large numbers of such smart dust biosensors could be inserted into organisms or distributed into the environment for remote sensing." Think about this one. http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v4/n3/abs/nnano.2008.393.html View in LinkedIn

PLASMONIC GRAPHENE. "Now researchers at Georgia Tech have invented a plasmonic graphene nano-antenna that can be efficiently used at millimeter radio wavelengths, taking one more step toward smart dust." https://lnkd.in/dexKJsv View in LinkedIn

CLOUD SEEDING. "Weather Modification Using Tiny Particles Deployed in Upper Atmosphere. Video of plans for weather monitoring and modification using smart dust for cloud seeding." Sinister overtones. https://lnkd.in/dQb9-Mb View in LinkedIn

MILITARY INTEREST. "It’s easy to see why the military wants smart dust. During the Vietnam War, the military deployed a slew of remote sensors to detect and track North Vietnamese troops. Although the planned “McNamara Line” along the DMZ never fully materialized, the sensors proved their worth during the Siege of Khe Sanh in early 1968." https://lnkd.in/ezqcA3j View in LinkedIn
