YesSir writes "The EETimes is reporting that Hitachi has a breakthrough in RFID technology that they are planning to show at this years ISSCC (International Solid-State Circuits Conference). The new RFID chip is their newest mu-chip that, measuring in at 7.5 microns, is ten or more times thinner than a sheet of paper and comes complete with 128-bit identifying goodness."

  1. The smaller they are, the harder they fall by Jordan+Catalano · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Shouldn't a smaller chip mean that even less radiative power is needed to overload and inactivate the tag? So... good news?

  2. Could care less about size... by doormat · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What I really want out of RFID tags is the ability to scan 1000s per minute. I've got a large room, a library of documents. If I RFID tag each one, I want to be able to run a wand past all the documents and inventory all 100,000 documents in 15 minutes. Right now, the people I've talked to say its not possible. That is what I am waiting for.
