Smart Dust Technology refers to a system of tiny, wireless microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) that can detect, collect, and transmit data from their environment — often smaller than a grain of sand. These miniature devices, or “ motes ,” form networks that can monitor conditions like light, temperature, vibration, chemicals, or movement in real-time. 🧬 What Is Smart Dust? Smart Dust is a network of micro-scale sensors that are: Self-contained Wirelessly communicative Often equipped with microprocessors, sensors, and power supplies Able to operate autonomously and cooperatively This technology is part of the Internet of Things (IoT) , but at an extremely miniaturized, embedded scale . 🧠 Core Components of a Smart Dust Mote Component Function 🧭 Sensor Detects physical/chemical signals (e.g., temperature, pressure, toxins) 🧠 Microprocessor Processes data and controls operations 📡 Transceiver Communicates data wirelessly (often via RF, infrared, or optical) ...
