Worlds smallest standalone server
It's the world's smallest solar-powered sensor developed at the University of Michigan
M R
Researchers at the University of Michigan have created a mini sensor that draws its energy from micro sized solar panels as well as heat and or movement. The sensor is 0.10" by 0.14" by 0.03".
That's a self-contained solar cell.
It is a miniature silicon solar cell connected to a small battery.
Cheers,

World's Smallest solar Powered Sensor which could run forever.
Developed at the University of Michigan, the 2.5 x 3.5 x 1 millimeter system is the smallest in the world, and it can harvest energy from its surroundings almost perpetually.
Measuring in at 9 cubic millimeters, the micro sensor requires half a volt to operate, but the device can put out up to 4 volts of power with reasonable indoor lighting. It probably won’t be on store shelves any time soon, but the solar-powered system could be used to make environmental sensor networks that keep track of water and air quality both cheaper and more efficient. The device also has a number of possible medical applications — for example, it could monitor pressure changes in the eyes for patients with glaucoma. Eventually, the sensor could be powered by heat or movement and used inside the body.

I would guess that this is a solar powered micro-robot. It looks like it includes a stack of silicon, senors, and solar. Phill in Austin.

It couldn't be a solar powered micro processor.
It is the new iPad Micro.

It's smart dust. The military plans to be able to deliver many of these over a battlefield to form an ad-hoc sensor network for battlefield awareness.

Someone might have sabotaged the 'mystery' of this pic.
It is either a "solar cent" a "Nano-cent", or last guess is "chip-cent"

Mike, I think you should change the wording of your challenge, since it contains a contradiction. If your newsletter is awe-inspiring, then it's an actual honor for someone to get their name in it, not a dubious one.
It is a United Sates one cent coin, commonly know as a penny.
