RFID 'Powder' - World's Smallest RFID Tag: Science Fiction in the News


RFID 'Powder' - World's Smallest RFID Tag: Science Fiction in the News

The world's smallest and thinnest RFID tags were introduced by Hitachi. Tiny miracles of miniaturization, these RFID chips (Radio Frequency IDentification chips) measure just 0.05 x 0.05 millimeters.

The previous record-holder, the Hitachi mu-chip, is just 0.4 x 0.4 millimeters. Take a look at the size of the mu-chip RFID tag on a human fingertip. That is 60 times BIGGER than the new Hitachi chips.
