Hitachi develops RFID powder
Hitachi’s new RFID chips (pictured on right, next to a human hair) are 64 times smaller than their mu-chips (left)
RFID keeps getting smaller. On February 13, Hitachi unveiled a tiny, new “powder” type RFID chip measuring 0.05 x 0.05 mm — the smallest yet — which they aim to begin marketing in 2 to 3 years.
By relying on semiconductor miniaturization technology and using electron beams to write data on the chip substrates, Hitachi was able to create RFID chips 64 times smaller than their currently available 0.4 x 0.4 mm mu-chips. Like mu-chips, which have been used as an anti-counterfeit measure in admission tickets, the new chips have a 128-bit ROM for storing a unique 38-digit ID number.
The new chips are also 9 times smaller than the prototype chips Hitachi unveiled last year, which measure 0.15 x 0.15 mm.
At 5 microns thick, the RFID chips can more easily be embedded in sheets of paper, meaning they can be used in paper currency, gift certificates and identification. But since existing tags are already small enough to embed in paper, it leads one to wonder what new applications the developers have in mind.

it will probably be used to track citizens so that they more easily can be oppressed.
They’ll put them in your food so they can track the color of your shit.

Doubtless I will want to have entire suites made with this “Pwder” each rfid having a unique ID. Perhaps by having all of the ID’s possible, just to screw with the sensors…
Great idea. If used in money, any pickpocket with a tag reader can know how much cash you’re carrying in your wallet.
In order to have all ID’s possible, you’d need 2^128th of them,
or 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,770,000,000 of them, which is roughly equivalent to the number of grains of sand on 34 million million Earths.
Good luck with that!
Or maybe just a powerful computer made with lots of really tiny, powerful chips?
New tech like this has amazing potential uses - think of what it could do for medicine, pollution control, portability, etc. But it’s sold to governments to control their populations, or to the corporations that governments outsource their control work to. In other words, it’s not about what the chips can do: it’s who has the money and power to use them.
Oh cool, The Mark of The Beast.

In a suit, you are correct I would be unable to actually carry all the ID’s at once. Actually I would Imagine I could use a random dispersion of them, btree style, and quite probably hit enough correct #’s to randomly trigger readers everywhere, not to mention the pure havoc of having that many RFID tags attempt to be read at any given time. If nothing else it is camouflage. ;) Lord knows what you could do with a good sized shopping cart or a couple of transmitters and a step sequencer. Crazy RFID manufacturers!

[…] For those of you not familiar with rfid technology, it is the latest technology used to track inventory for the large retailers. It is like a smart version of the sensors that go off at the door of most department stores. With it a retailer can tell how many pieces of a particular item are in stock, and also where the stock is located. The range for sensing these tags are short but new developements are aiming to change that. So no biggie right? We it would seem that many companies are trying to use this technology along with GPS for tracking and survelliance of people as well. This has many privacy pundits concerned. The NWO just keeps marching on. Hitachi develops RFID powder ::: Pink Tentacle […]
Big whoop. The size of the chip isn’t a very big deal compared to the size of the antenna which needs to be connected to the thing. These chips are useless without the antenna which is HUGE relative to the chip. Nobody is going to sprinkle this on your Big Mac.

A paper describing these chips was presented at ISSCC 2007 on Feb. 14 in San Francisco. Here’s an abstract of what was submitted (PDF):
A 0.05×0.05mm2 RFID Chip with Easily Scaled-Down ID-Memory
M. Usami1, H. Tanabe1, A. Sato1, I. Sakama1, Y. Maki2, T. Iwamatsu2, T. Ipposhi2, Y. Inoue2
1Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan
2Renesas Technology, Hyogo, Japan
An ultra-small RFID chip uses an electron beam for writing 1T memory cells. A 90nm SOI CMOS process and double-surface electrode chip structures enable the design of 0.05×0.05mm2 and 5µm-thick RFID chips with small, low-cost and highly-reliable 128b ID-memory. The chip is verified at a carrier frequency of 2.45GHz with measured communication distance of 300mm.
Doesn’t say anything about the antennas, but if they are like the Mu-Chips, they use external antennas that are much larger than the chips…

[…] Hitachi ha desarrollado los nuevos chips RFID, que pueden presumir de ser los ms pequeos que existen en la actualidad.

Poseen una memoria ROM de 128 bits que permiten almacenar un nmero de de 38 dgitos. Estn diseados para insertarse en entradas o en billetes con la intencin de que sirvan como identificadores por radiofrecuencia.

[…] Esta tecnología se está aplicando no sólo para la industria o el comercio, sino para utilidades cada vez más insospechadas: pulseras para gimnasios que te identifican y reconocen tu plan personal de ejercicios, frigoríficos que detectan los alimentos en su interior por su mera presencia (ni siquiera les tienes que pasar el código de barras), tickets de metro, identificación de mascotas, identificación para carnets de conducir o pasaportes, seguimiento de hormigones y de cultivos agrícolas, papel moneda… cadenas comerciales como Wal-Mart ya lo utilizan, e incluso la NASA está enviando RFID tags al espacio y PRADA utiliza RFID para identificar a sus artículos y a sus clientes!! No creáis que os queda muy lejos: Correos acaba de anunciar la implantación de su Plan Mercurio para hacer seguimiento de los envíos postales con localizadores mediante RFID, lo que os permitirá seguir la posición de cada uno de vuestros envíos por sms o directamente en su web… Lo realmente sorprendente es el nuevo invento de Hitachi: el Polvo de Radiofrecuencia, que son chips RFID minúsculos (0,05 x 0,05 mm) capaces de almacenar 38 dígitos de identificación.

This is so out of date. This chip was the typcial Japanese attempt to come up with their own standard and blow off the rest of the world.
Some facts
- ALL the new generations of RFID chips are tiny
- You can’t possibly make money with electron beam writing on chips that have to sell for about a nickle (just the silicon). RFID tags of this class cost about 20 cents, and most of that is the package and the antenna
- The small size becomes self defeating at some point - you still have to saw the wafer, and at some point, all you have is saw lanes (yes, I know you can cut the wafer with a laser)
- The size of the chip has nothing to do with the tag - you still have to have an antenna - at least the size of a dime for this class of chip, unless you are willing to read it from only an inch away (some really small tags can’t even read at an inch)/
- The reason you can’t find this on the company’s web site may have something to do with the fact that no serious customer wants to buy a tag that is not compliant to open standards.

[…] To those who trust the media to tell us the truth need to think again and look behind the scenes at the bigger picture. What is our nation telling us??? The war in Iraq…. The newscasters say: it’s wrong, let’s pull out the troops… Gun Control?? Get rid of them, guns kill too many people. The Illegal Immigration Problem??? Let’s give them amnesty and working privileges… we’ll tell them we’re tightening the borders when in actuality we have no plans to do so. Health Care?? Let’s centralize it and give free care to the poor and destitute in society, by taxing the people (see Canada for the fall-out) Let’s give benefits to same sex couples and let them share our bathrooms and take jobs in religious places of employment (Senate Bill 2 & House Bill 2007). Yes to crimilize the rights and beliefs of people of faith, particularly Christians, because this side of heaven they can generally get away with it. Any other faith and people would be in an uproar ( such as muslims over the cartoon scandal & comments make by the new pope) , yet we remain passive and allow our national freedoms to be taken from us, piece by piece ever so slowly until we wake up one day and realize we are no longer in America. Let’s not be ignorant to think our rights aren’t being taken from us against our will, it’s happening NOW as we SPEAK. Real ID Act?? In the name of security against terrorism? How naive are we to think we can ever be protected against an enemy we cannot see? We will one day live in a world dependant upon our government for what we have, and that will be to live in a lifeless prison we call Earth. Posted by reignlight Filed in My Thoughts […]
Whoa. Final achievement for BigBro.
Anyway, for those concerned with the Mark of the Beast, I’d like to underline that there is already people who is willingly letting the bigger, rice-of-grain-sized VeriChips (http://www.verichipcorp.com/) be implanted under their skin, as a required membership proof or as a wallet substitute to load credit to, in pubs, clubs, ski resorts and such, all around the world.
But in the end, nor the Beast, nor Angels themselves are allowed to bypass our freedom of choice. Both know it, and like it or not, both are needing our knowingly consent to operate for us.
It is all about Choice.

I’m not worried about this being the mark of the Beast . . . yet. The anti-christ has to come to power over most of the world first, and only then can this technology be implemented and forced on people. The mere fact that this technology has appeared shows that we are not far from seeing the anti-christ himself and then we will be at the time of the end. I suggest we all find out what Jesus said in the Bible before we get deceived into the lies the anti-christ will tell us. Bring it on!! I’m ready for the end & Jesus’ return!!!

I cant belive what some of you people are saying its a good idea? Are you out of you fucking MIND?! Do you have any idea what RFID is? Better learn your facts. Imagine the government knowing your every move…where you are, what your doing, what your saying, what you bought today, where you have been, how much time you spent, when you sleep, when your awake, when you use the facilities, ECT, ECT…… Get the picture?

This should clear up anything about the mark of the beast….and it will hopefully open the eyes of the world. We need to come together and fight for our rights to be free beings. No one has the right to rule our actions.
