This concept seems to bubble up and then go quiet every few years. See Self-Organizing Wireless Sensor Networks and SmartDust, for example.

The person quoted in the article says the cost could come down to $250! Maybe he was misquoted — I don’t see a BOM that should cost more than 25 cents in volume.

The article says meteorologists want 3D temperature data around tornados. Great— we’ll be dropping these things by the millions and just letting them lie there for decades to slowly rot away? Who’s going to go pick up all that litter? These would be worse than plastic bags flying all over the landscape. For fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq? Sure. But inside the U.S.? Nope.
