World's smallest computer system: At just one square millimetre in size, the tiny device is a pressure monitor that is implanted in a person's eye

Boffins have unveiled the world's smallest computer which measures an amazingly small, one square millimetre.  Despite it's diminutive size, the device still packs an impressive amount of power.

It contains an ultra low-power microprocessor, a pressure sensor, memory, a thin-film battery, a solar cell and a wireless radio with an antenna that can transmit data to an external reader.

Makers say the technology could one day be used to track pollution, monitor structural integrity, perform surveillance, or make any object trackable.

Wow.
