Same - I was like - thats way smaller than 9mm (a penny has a 19mm diameter).

Then I realized that no one at engadget realized that 9 cubic mm is not the same as 9mm, the same way that an inch is not a gallon.

This thing is probably 3 mm long...]]>Mar 3rd 2010 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/researchers-shows-off-self-contained-9mm-solar-power-system/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/researchers-shows-off-self-contained-9mm-solar-power-system/Mar 3rd 2010 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/researchers-shows-off-self-contained-9mm-solar-power-system/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/researchers-shows-off-self-contained-9mm-solar-power-system/Mar 3rd 2010 12:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/researchers-shows-off-self-contained-9mm-solar-power-system/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/researchers-shows-off-self-contained-9mm-solar-power-system/

Actually, I can see these strung together powering single-purpose chemical/bomb/viral detection devices that are attached to lightposts, which would infinitely power it at night (by light) and sunlight during the day.
