Wireless networks on microchips
Wednesday, 12 September, 2012
Drexel University in Philadelphia recently earned a National Science Foundation grant to develop tiny wireless networks on microchips.
Despite microchips’ wired connections being condensed into a small space, the sheer volume of the connections necessary to make a functional chip still takes up a great deal of area.
Wireless radio frequency antennas would allow information to be transmitted from one part of the chip to another without the use of wired interconnections.
