New technology may soon help people buy groceries without taking them out of the cart, and it could also help treat Parkinson’s disease and depression.
Marlin Mickle, professor of electrical, industrial and computer engineering, as well as telecommunications at Pitt, said that there could be uses for this technology in many industries. “Any place we can do this for, whether it’s homeland security, medical research or communications, all of those would fall under this technology,” Mickle said. Radio frequency identification technology draws energy out of the air or from nearby objects to power itself and transmits it back at a different frequency. This allows for incredibly small computer chips or electrical components to run without batteries and to wirelessly communicate over distances. The Pitt News - Researchers advance versatile tech |
