(2)According to the researchers, the computer is only 03 x 03 mm long, smaller than a grain of rice, and is only one-tenth the size of the world’s smallest computer ever developed
(3)The researchers developed a micro device that is 10 times smaller than the microcomputer announced by IBM in March this year I’m not sure if it’s okay to refer to it as a computer, but I also explained that unlike IBM computers, it also has the characteristics of being able to detect the surrounding environment
(4)The world’s smallest computer is equipped with a precision sensor that detects temperature It can detect temperatures in very fine areas such as cells, which is expected to help discover tumors with higher average temperatures than normal cells or find treatments
(5)The researchers explained that the temperature sensor is very small and biocompatible, so it can be transplanted into living things such as mice, and if this temperature sensor is used in cancer cells, it can check the temperature change inside the tumor and the change with normal tissue, which will be useful to check whether the treatment is successful
(6)”We needed a new circuit design method that could withstand light while using low power, just like the existing ultra-small computers,” he said. “However, the size was too small to be equipped with a communication antenna.” Instead, it is equipped with equipment that can transmit and receive data with visible light,” he added
(7)The researchers expressed their expectation that the newly developed microcomputer is too small to store data when the power is cut off, but it can be used in various fields, including the medical community
(8)Professor David Blough, who led the study, said, “I’m not sure we can call it a computer There is a lot of opinion on whether it should be equipped with the least amount of functionality
Where do you think I’m using that right now
