GE’s Battery-Free Sensor is a Breakthrough in RFID Technology
5:50AM Sean Fallon | GE’s new battery-free sensor could be just the kick in the pants RFID needs to start living up to its potential.

Naturally, eliminating on-board batteries means that manufacturers can make smaller sensors (as you can see in the image above) at a lower cost. So, with any luck, this technology will lead to new tracking and info-swapping applications across a wider range of industries. [Gizmag] More »
