How RFID Aids Alzheimer's Patients

Researchers at Intel are developing systems that use RFID and sensors to assist people with cognitive impairments. The work could lead to smart homes for the elderly and infirm, and one day, all of us.

The End of Counterfeiting?

Ravikanth Pappu is developing inexpensive plastic tokens that can be used to authenticate items. When combined with RFID tags, they could make it nearly impossible to sell forged goods.

Taking RFID Beyond Identification

Prof. Ted Selker and his Context Aware Computing Group at MIT are using RFID to power sensors, transmitters and other microelectronic devices.

Breakthrough on 1-Cent RFID Tag

Researchers at Infineon have found a way to create microchips on common packaging materials. One day, chips may be printed with commercial processes for less than a penny.

RFID Sensors: From Battlefield Intelligence To Consumer Protection

The U.S. military is funding the development of low-cost RFID sensors to gather information about battlefield conditions. The same technology could one day tell you when food is spoiled or tainted.

Sensors to Network the World

Intel is working with researchers at Berkeley to develop tiny sensors that can form ad hoc networks and provide feedback on the physical world.

A New Approach to RFID

University of Pittsburgh professor Marlin Mickle has developed a novel approach to RFID. His PENI tag "harvests" energy to transmit back a unique ID, which improves performance.

Agents Key to RFID Supply Chains

BiosGroup's intelligent software agents could play an important role in supply chains by responding automatically to information coming from RFID tags and readers.

Alien NanoBlocks Will Reshape RFID

Alien Technology has figured how to mass assemble microchips the size of a grain of pepper. The company could transform the RFID industry.
