Tiny Sensor Runs on Almost Zero Power

Jul-05-17 A tiny temperature sensor that consumes almost no power could open the door to “unawareable” smart devices.

The sensor, created by a team at UC San Diego, is powered by taking advantage of “gate leakage,” which is the small amount of power that naturally leaks from transistors. Since the chip requires only 113 picowatts to function, its energy draw is minimal, opening the door to devices that could run for years on a single tiny battery.
