Fun fact time – In their quest to create the smallest computing device, a team of engineers from the University of Michigan presented a device that is 0.3 millimetres on each side. The funny thing is that the small computer looks like a dwarf compared to a grain of salt:
But who needs such a small device, especially when it doesn’t have large computational capabilities and it has to be always powered? The engineers from MU give us the answer:
“When we first made our millimetre system, we actually didn’t know exactly all the things it would be useful for. But once we published it, we started receiving dozens and dozens and dozens of inquiries,” said David Blaauw.
And now Michigan Micro Mote is used for:
But the smallest computer was designed as a precision temperature sensor that will be used to monitor temperatures in tumours since there are some theories that cancer tumours have higher temperatures than normal tissue so this little fellow will help prove or disprove this.
For now, we won’t be able to offer support for this kind of computers, but by all means, we can help you with your network in the office.

We hope you enjoyed this bizarre Fun fact, we certainly did when learning about it!
