"Smartdust Motes" "...tiny, bottle-cap-shaped micro-machines
fitted with wireless communication devices - that measure light and temperature [among other things, such as
environmental monitoring, health, security, distributed processing and
tracking - ed]. When clustered together, they automatically create highly
flexible, low-power
networks with applications
ranging from climate-control systems
to entertainment devices that interact with handheld computers." [ What
