Can u believe this? Hitachi has taken the initiative for developing one of the smallest RFID chips tags and has crossed boundaries to create RFID tag in powder form. This is what the company says and see yourself to believe it. The dots on your left around the strand of human hair in the picture are one of the world's smallest RFID tags and measure just 0.05mm x 0.05mm.

If you go by the statistics of this chip it is sixty four times smaller as compared to the earlier mu - chips and nine times smaller as compared to the prototype developed by Hitachi last year. Their size has in no way affected their storage capacity and it has a 128 bit ROM which can store a unique 38 digit ID number. Semiconductor miniaturization technology has been used by the company for developing these tags.

It might happen that someone may sprinkle these tags on your blazer and you may brush them off as Dandrufflinks from your hair, so next time be careful as it may not be dandruff!! What next after these powder tags? Tags which can only be seen with the help of a microscope, definitely its possible now!!
