Small sensors do a big job. Increasing numbers of things can now be controlled and measured, detected and regulated via small sensors on machines, in nature or in and on our bodies. These sensors gather and transmit large amounts of information via wireless communication, while requiring very little electrical power. To reduce electricity consumption, researchers must work with each tiny electroni
