microchipping
Embedding tiny transponders
Microchipping is the implantation of a tiny electronic chip under the skin, typically for identification purposes.
Pet owners microchip dogs and cats so lost animals can be traced back to them: Make sure your new puppy is microchipped.
The practice extends to livestock and, controversially, to humans for medical records or access control.
