Never heard of Smart Dust? That's easy. There are two types of dust: white and black. White dust settles on dark surfaces, black dust settles on light surfaces. That's smart.

Interesting. Also, to see, which companies are investing hard in the (narrow) peak or even bet the farm on it.
Surely really smart dust would just clean itself away instead of settling somewhere?
The interesting part about this hype cycle (might be due to the selection of technologies as "emerging"):
- none is due within 2 years
- just 3 within 5 years
A few are "duh", like "more data Centers"
