1. A lab-on-chip system, comprising:

  • a substrate;

    at least a first micro-electrical-mechanical structure formed on at least a portion of the substrate, the first micro-electrical-mechanical structure operable to perform at least one physical action on at least one physical work product;

    an antenna carried by the substrate;

    a passive power circuit carried by the substrate and coupled to the antenna to wirelessly receive power thereby in the form of an electromagnetic field and coupled to provide power to operate at least the first micro-electrical-mechanical structure;

    a controller carried by the substrate and communicatively coupled to control operation of at least the first micro-electrical-mechanical structure by executing a set of instructions; and

    a communications circuit carried by the substrate and operable to wirelessly transmit data from and to the lab-on-chip system,wherein the instructions are receivable via the antenna and the communication circuit.
