Popis: Forget inventory control in big-box stores---what if we had RFID chips to monitor $i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}d\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}v\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}d\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}u\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}a\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}l$ $c\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}e\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}l\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}l\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}s$ in a living body? A team of researchers has started us on this road, by creating radio-frequency devices just 22 \textmu{}m across, which can be naturally taken up by live cells. Despite their size, these devices emit strong signals and can be sensed wirelessly by their corresponding transceivers. Their potential for continuous tracking of intracellular activities is quite significant for research and practice in biology and medicine.
