A new generation of micro smart chip has been successfully developed

In many science fiction episodes, we often see a chip smaller than a grain of sand and place objects through a laser-like printing device. Today, this plot has become a reality.

According to a report from The New York Times, a new generation of chips called chiplets has been successfully developed. According to a report, researchers at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center in the United States passed a device similar to a laser printer to correct tens or even thousands of chips that are smaller than sand. Put in.

The research team said that these chips can both act as a microprocessor, and can also be used as a computer's memory or a component of a computer. They can even be used as analog devices in current microelectronic mechanical systems as well as in thermal sensing, pressure sensing, and motion sensing.

Researchers said that in the future development, it is planned to apply such chips to 3D printed objects to make these everyday items intelligent. However, developers also stated that it is still difficult to improve the accuracy and consistency of this type of chip, which means that there is still a certain distance to realize the intelligentization of 3D printing products.
