Whats this I hear, in Popular Science no less, about somone coming up 
with a micropower radar thats small enough to be fabbed on one silicon chip?

The article claims its real small, had a real fast aperture, uses very 
little power, etc.  I know that small, fast and low power all go along 
with being made on a silicon chip but is it real?  I still remember the 
scam about the self-cooling soda cans a few years ago that even 
Scientific American fell for.

If its really real, it sounds great.  The ideal sensor for small, mobile 
robots.  Anyone know anything more?

Thanks,
 -John C.
