Cloud Infrastructure Community Program

[Bob Flynn <>]

 

Fun fact of the week:

The world's smallest computer, developed by University of Michigan researchers in 2018, is tinier than a grain of rice at just 0.3 mm per side. Despite its dust mite-like size, it's a fully functional computer with a processor, RAM, and wireless capabilities. This microdevice can be used for precision temperature sensing in tumors and monitoring biochemical processes, consuming only 2 nanowatts of power in sleep mode.
