% Body Dust: Well Beyond Wearable and Implantable Sensors
% The very first paper reporting the new keywords ``Smart Dust'' was presented to a conference held in 1999~\cite{kahn1999next}, by Joseph Kahn, Randy Katz, and Kristofer Pister, from University of California, Berkeley.
% The authors elaborated about the concept in that early paper and, then, published the year later again in the Journal of Communications and Network~\cite{kahn2000emerging}.
% Indeed, Kristofer Pister, with other co-authors from the same University, clearly
% declared in 2001 the ultimate aim of this research as probing microfabrication technology’s limitations to determine whether an autonomous sensing, computing, and communication system can be packed into a cubic millimeter mote to form the basis of integrated, massively distributed sensor networks~\cite{warneke2001smart}.

% In 2000, the concept was proposed starting by
% a cube in the inch-scale and elaborating on the possibility to
% integrate corner-cube retro-reflectors of 200 $\mu$m only in lateral
% sizes [14]. Retro-reflectors have been proposed with the aim
% to transmit laser signals over distances up to 2 meters with
% a communication-rates up to 1 Kbps [16]. Then, a smaller
% communication system in a single CMOS die with area in
% only 300 by 360 $\mu$m 2 and integrating a corner cube retro-
% reflector assuring data transmission by MEMS optics was
% realized [15]. In particular, cube retro-reflector are usually real-
% ized in MEMS technology with mutually orthogonal reflective
% mirrors, e.g., by flipping and latching different leafs previously
% realized on silicon with diamond micro-chiseling and laser
% machining by also exploiting the moving mask technique [17].
% However, that kind of optical communication systems actually
% required a battery, kind of those usually used that time for
% artificial-hearing devices, which enlarged the entire system’
% sizes up to 73 mm 3 [15]. The promised power budget was
% extremely attractive, around 10 pJ (pico-Joules) per pixel with
% only 100 fJ (fempto-Joules) of optical power, with the promise
% that the total consumption per pixel might be further reduced
% in few years to 10 fJoules per bit [15]. Applications were
% proposed for several fields, starting from the idea that this
% kind of smart dust particles might be freely spread in the envi-
% ronment. Enabling then for data acquisition and transmission
% about geophysical, metrological, and planetary research, for
% both civilian and military applications [14].
