Smart Dust

Smart dust refers to tiny, wireless sensors that can be scattered in large areas to collect data about their environment. These miniature devices, often the size of a grain of sand, can monitor things like temperature, light, and vibration. They communicate with each other and send the information back to a central system for analysis. Smart dust has potential applications in various fields, including environmental monitoring, healthcare, and smart cities, enabling more efficient data collection and improved decision-making. The aim is to create a pervasive sensing network that can function almost invisibly in our surroundings.
