After living in the United States, I’ve developed a definite affinity for chocolate chip cookies and—if I do say so myself—a strong idea of what makes a good dessert.

...that compete directly with China, such as its Asian neighbors and Mexico. Along the way, China became a vital link in the global supply chain. Some Dell notebook computers from China, for example, are made by a Taiwan-owned company called Compal using Taiwanese circuitry, a U.S.-made Intel chip and a screen from Korea.

Each mote has a chip about the size of a grain of rice that detects and records things like temperature and motion at its location. Attach it to a battery the size of an aspirin, and a mote will keep doing this for longer than a year; add a power source the size of a bottle cap, and your mote is good for a decade. Most important, the motes have minuscule radio transmitters that talk to other motes...
