I believe RFID (Radio Frequency ID) technology is like magic, I was surprised at how small it is, and that he can communicate without wires. Memory Spot research team has come with the new chip, which makes RFID chip look huge in comparison.

The new chip is the size of grains of rice, measuring 2-4 mm square (sounds, which are less grain rice for me). The initial prototype can hold more than 512 KB of data, despite the fact that is expected to grow in the future.

As RFID, you communicate with the chip wires, but speed wise there is a huge improvement. Maximum data transfer speed with RFID is 848 Kilobits per second (though in practice this is often much slower than this), a new chip enhances the data transmission speed of up to 10 megabits per second.

The chip is 2 years from commercialization be, but that should give us time to think about some cool uses for it.
