"SMART DUST isn’t actually a new concept and has been around since the beginning of the 1990s when it was invented out of a prolonged research and study project convened by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Research And Development Corporation (RAND)." https://lnkd.in/dM29NTS 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

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

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

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

"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

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

COMMUNICATION GAP. "Smart dust. Utility fog. Programmable matter. Grey and blue goo. Cooperating swarms of micron-sized devices (motes) offer completely new solutions and capabilities that can hardly be imagined. However, cooperation requires communication, and conventional radio or optical networking simply isn't practical at this size." https://lnkd.in/dexKJsv View in LinkedIn

SMARTDUST PLUS IoT. "M3 Michigan Micro Motes, are cubic millimeter sized devices capable of carrying out complex computing functions on a chip an incredibly tiny package - rightfully nicknamed “smart dust.” IoT expansion is limited by the actual number of real-world objects equipped with self-communicable sensors - but now imagine an environment coated in these so-called smart dust computers." https://lnkd.in/dhJznCG View in LinkedIn

DUST EVERYWHERE. "Each 'mote' of smart dust floats in the air, containing a power supply, a sensor, some circuitry and a way to communicate with other nodes. They could measure anything, from temperature, moisture and movement to chemical signatures and brainwaves. Because they're so small and innocuous, they can be everywhere." https://lnkd.in/d6UF5U9 View in LinkedIn
