European group researches polymer RFID chips - InfoWorld
Several electronics manufacturers and research institutes in Europe have joined forces in a European Union-funded project aimed at developing low-cost, polymer-based electronic circuits...The group has coined the term "ambient intelligence" to define the general focus of its work. The goal is to integrate a variety of electronic functions, such as sensing, computing and information storage, into a wide range of materials, including consumer packaging, and to enable all these to communicate via low-cost radio frequency technology, according to Stockdill.
