10 Microscopic Gadgets For A Better Tomorrow


#4 Micro-Memories

The flash storage makes you feel that hard drives are hefty and of yesterday's tech. And tomorrow’s drives could squeeze in 200 times more data to the present size. Scientists at the German Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) have created a magnetic storage unit that occupies 4 x 16 nanometers on the disc. Each of its tooth-like structures is composed of 12 iron atoms that can store a single bit of data; the whole structure uses 96 atoms to hold a full byte. This could lead to 100-terabyte drives, but currently, the structure has to remain below -450 degrees Fahrenheit to be stable.

#5 Nano Computer

If the Smartphones, that can pull off all the PC functions makes you wonder, then the upcoming nano computers will awestruck you. 

David Wentzloff has been making tiny computers for years at the University of Michigan, but his latest project is a self-contained computing device that is about 1 cubic millimeter wide. Roughly the size of a pinhead, this nano-computer has two processors, a camera, and a pressure sensor as well as a wireless transmitter and antenna. The whole thing is powered by a tiny solar cell and battery pack. The device has been designed and built to be implanted into the eyes of glaucoma patients to measure and transmit their ocular pressure every 15 minutes.
