A tag-along microsensor device comprises a means for transmitting a signal, adhesion means, and sensing means. In a preferred embodiment, a means for transmitting a signal includes a nano-antenna apparatus. Adhesion means may include mechanical, magnetic, or static electric adhesion means. Mechanical adhesion means may include a hook or barb, or a chemical adhesion means such as glue or other sticky chemical adhesive. Sensing means may include sensing of audio signals, accelerometers, gyros, or other sensors. Alternatively, a tag-along microsensor method includes the steps of deploying a tag-along microsensor, transmitting a signal from a tag-along microsensor, receiving a signal, and acting on a signal. In a preferred embodiment, transmitting a signal includes the steps of charging a first conducting surface with respect to a second conducting surface, and discharging a first conducting surface with respect to a second conducting surface, so that the discharging forms a substantially continuous closed conducting shell from a first conducting surface and a second conducting surface. In other embodiments, deploying a tag-along microsensor results in a tag-along microsensor adhering to an entity such as a person, vehicle, or animal. In still further embodiments, receiving a signal may involve receiving a signal is in the vicinity of a location where a tag-along microsensor was deployed or at a location a substantial distance from where said tag-along microsensor was deployed. Acting on a signal may include recording data from a signal or intercepting an entity to which a tag-along microsensor is attached.
