From tiny robo-spies designed to prowl unseen through hostile territory, to wireless networks of chemical sniffers monitoring pollution in the wilderness, a new wave of ultra-high-tech sensors has begun to link the cyber-world of bits and bytes with the analog world we live in. In the process, it is transforming the way we understand and manage our world.
