RFID 'Powder' - World's Smallest RFID Tag
Feb. 2007
The
world's smallest and thinnest RFID tags were introduced yesterday 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.

Now, compare that with the new RFID tags. The "powder
type" tags are some sixty times smaller.

Hitachi's mu-chips are already in production; they
were used to prevent ticket forgery at last year's Aichi international
technology exposition. RFID 'powder,' on the other hand, is so much smaller that
it can easily be incorporated into thin paper, like that used in paper currency
and gift certificates.
These devices could also be used to identify and
track people. For example, suppose you participated in some sort of protest or
other organized activity. If police agencies sprinkled these tags around, every
individual could be tracked and later identified at leisure, with powerful
enough tag scanners.
Take a look at these earlier
stories related to RFID, and consider how much easier it will be with tinier
chips: RFID Sensor Tag Shower For Disasters (gentle rain of RFID), RFID-Maki:
Easy Payment Sushi (just tag the sushi directly, then scan customer's stomach
[no joke, see digestible tags]) and VeriChip Chairman Proposes RFID Chips For
Immigrants (just dust the border).
