Scientists build ultra-high-speed terahertz wireless chip

To enable data transmission speeds that surpass the 5th Generation (5G) standards for telecommunications, scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Osaka University in Japan have built a new chip using a concept called photonic topological insulators.

Published recently in Nature Photonics, the researchers showed that their chip can transmit terahertz (THz) waves resulting in a data rate of 11 Gigabits per second (Gbit/s), which is capable of supporting real-time streaming of 4K high-definition video, and exceeds the hitherto theoretical limit of 10 Gbit/s for 5G wireless communications.

Wonders what the conspiracy theorists will come up with for 6G?

Does this rally qualify for 6G or is it more like 5.5G?

I happy they realised that they didn’t have their masks on.

> photonic topological insulators

That can be done. This looks like a practical version of fractal antennas, reduced to smaller size to get higher frequencies.

Here are some at lower frequencies.
