In RFID systems, a tag (comprising an antenna and a microchip) communicates with a reader via radio waves. Nanotechnology can enhance both the antenna and the microchip:
Nano-Antennas: Nanoscale antennas, made from materials like graphene, can operate at higher frequencies and offer better signal transmission. Their small size allows for more compact and flexible designs, suitable for embedding in a variety of materials. Nano-Microchips: Advances in nanoscale fabrication enable the creation of smaller, more powerful microchips. These chips consume less power and can store more data, improving the overall efficiency of the RFID system.
