Microsensors can sniff out money
Filed in archive Research on July 5, 2006
US border security officials sponsored the development of a sensor at the University of Michigan that detects the gasses given off by the ink on paper bills, making it easier to catch currency smugglers.
Thanks to nanotechnology, sensors are becoming so small that we can monitor many conditions in ways never possible before. Dr. Kensall Wise, Director of the Center for Wireless Integrated MicroSystems at the University of Michigan calls wireless integrated microsystems (WMS) "the final frontier in the pervasiveness of microelectronics."
He's working on a micropower environmental monitor for the precision analysis of gaseous materials. This wristwatch-sized device can detect the presence of toxic gasses at the level of just 100 parts per trillion. It can also monitor temperature, humidity, pressure and more. It can recognize the presence of mustard gas in a building's air supply in just 4 seconds. (photo University of Michigan)

I believe that Ultimately, the research in microsensors could change the way countries responds to pathogenic and biological attack.

Another important aspect of the research is that the devices could be used on a large scale—in airports, office buildings, even restaurants.

Funded by the National Science Foundation, with additional contributions from the State of Michigan, the three partnering core universities, other Federal agencies, and a consortium of some twenty companies, the WIMS ERC is merging micropower circuits, wireless interfaces, biomedical and environmental sensors and subsystems, and advanced packaging to create microsystems that will have a pervasive impact on society during the next two decades. View a summary of all WIMS Research.

Another important part of the WIMS ERC is its work to develop interdisciplinary educational programs in microsystems.
