A new wireless communications technique uses what researchers call “ambient backscatter” to allow devices to communicate and exchange information with each other by reflecting (or absorbing) existing radio and television signals. Impressively, the devices do not require any power source apart from the existing ambient radio and TV signals that already surround us. “We can […]
