Scientists at Columbia University have created the world's smallest single-chip system—complete wireless electronic circuits that can monitor conditions in the body.
The chips, called "motes," have a total volume of less than one cubic millimeter, making them smaller than microscopic dust mites.
No, these microchips can't be used to track you; they can only communicate outside the body with an ultrasound machine.
==================================================================================
Your next doctor's appointment could soon become much more informative thanks to new microchips the size of dust mites, only visible beneath a microscope.
Picture this: Your surgeon wants to continuously monitor your lungs prior to a procedure to ensure your respiratory system is strong enough to deal with anesthesia. So, a technician uses a hypodermic needle to inject a few small microchips into your body. Then, they use an ultrasound machine to communicate with the chips, which show your lungs are primed for the operation. Your subsequent surgery is a breeze.
This is a vision of the future with the world's smallest single-chip system, a complete electronic circuit that technicians could one day inject directly into the body to monitor and diagnose certain health conditions.
Scientists at Columbia University have designed and fabricated the chips to measure body temperature so far, but they hope that one day, the chips can monitor everything from blood pressure, to glucose, to respiration, according to their new research, which appears in the journal Science Advances.
"We are very eager to pursue devices like this to augment ultrasonography, to go beyond what is available through endogenous characteristics of tissue," lead researcher Ken Shepard, professor of electrical engineering and biomedical engineering at Columbia University, tells Pop Mech.
"These devices can be designed to sense things and communicate this information back to the ultrasound image, which also provides biogeographical information on where this particular information was sensed," Shepard says.
But before you break out your book of conspiracy theories, we should be clear that researchers can't, under any circumstances, use these tiny devices to track you; they don't even use the type of radio frequency (RF) communications that would be required to do so.
How It Works Each chip—or "mote," as the researchers call them—has three primary characteristics, Shepard says. Data transmission and power are both wireless; the interface that connects the human to the technology is integrated on the chip itself; and the device has a form factor that makes it amenable to the human body, meaning it's very small and unobtrusive.
To establish these qualities in a temperature-sensing chip, the team began with a typical "complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor" (CMOS) process, much like the technology you'd employ to create a chip for a computer, a car, or a smartphone. CMOS chips are made with a pair of semiconductors that are attached to a secondary voltage source so that they work at opposite times; when one transistor is switched on, the other is switched off.

COLUMBIA ENGINEERING But the Columbia researchers needed to add a microscale piezoelectric transducer to the chip so it could communicate with ultrasound technology. The transducer converts mechanical sound waves from the ultrasound machine into electrical signals and vice-versa. It's covered with a small layer of gold on both sides to enhance connectivity. The mote also features a layer of special conductive film and a thin sheet of copper.
"These are added after we get the chip back from the commercial foundry," Shepard explains. "In addition, we have to etch and thin the chips to these very small form factors and coat them with a kind of plastic for biocompatibility."
Dust mites are 0.2mm across, making them .008 cubic millimeters
So much for the author's credibility right off the bat.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation came to us and said, ‘Hey, we have a real problem — knowing who’s vaccinated,’” said McHugh, who was recruited to join Rice with funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. “They said, ‘We go on vaccination campaigns where people get into Hummers, drive to a rural village, set up a tent and start immunizing people, but they don’t always know who’s been immunized before and what vaccines are still needed.”
Parents often don’t know their children’s vaccination histories, McHugh said. “So our idea was to put the record on the person,” he said. “This way, later on, people can scan over the area to see what vaccines have been administered and give only the ones still needed.
“There are two sides to this,” he said. “First, is that you don’t administer unnecessary vaccines, which has a cost. But even bigger, you don’t leave people underimmunized and at risk of getting an infectious disease.”
McHugh said the team worked with a bioethicist to be sure the patients’ data remains protected. “She said we’re on solid ethical ground as long as people can opt out, like getting the patch with only the vaccine. Also, the patch with quantum dots only contains information about the vaccine received. It doesn’t tell you anything else about the person.”
umm yeah...from Bill Gates the ultimate altruist/s.
NO. No RF involved anywhere, just ultrasound which requires a transducer that is in contact with the body.
India’s Aadhar system has 1.1 billion people enrolled. Their fingerprints and retina scans have been entered into a central database for ID purposes.
Gates is funding the World Bank to get this type of system into other countries.

Another 10-20 years and it’s going to be hard to be off the grid. It will turn to digital currency attached to everything about you, also digital. If those quantum dot tattoos end up being the final tech and they want to put it on the back of your hand or on your forehead, well, you know time’s about up.
IOW, it’s just a matter of time before they are tracking us with it.
It’s small enough that you could be implanted without your knowledge in a vaccine, let’s say..................hmmmmmmm.................
” But Don’t Freak Out.... Bill Gates isn’t going to use it to track you.”
Bezos or Soros then.
I’m amazed at the FReepers on this thread that keep repeating that an implanted chip is a “conspiracy theory,”
The Bible is not “conspiracy theory,” it is Revelation chapt. 13 that has forewarned us that only those with the “mark of the beast” will be able to buy of sell. The “beast” being the book of Revelation’s term for the antichrist.
Simply put, if you do not believe this coming political and religious world leader is the Messiah and Savior of the Bible - NOT Jesus - and refuse to take his identifying “mark” in you body, then you will not be allowed to buy of sell.
This is no “conspiracy theory.”
Yep!
