Wireless uploads of gravid files take for - ev - er . Butresearchers at Georgia Tech Universityhave plans for an transmitting aerial made of crazy thingraphenethat would let you transfer a whole terabit of data in just one second .

Within a couplet of foot , research worker could move a terabit per second , but in theory , from a closer range , you could move as much as 100 terabits a second . That ’s about 100 high - def movies in less clip than it takes you make a cupful of chocolate . Graphene , you crazy .
MIT Technology Reviewexplains how the antenna would bemade :
Graphene could be determine into minute strip of between 10 and 100 nanometers wide and one micrometer gauge long , allowing it to channel and meet at the terahertz frequency , which some corresponds to those size scales . Electromagnetic waves in the terahertz frequency would then interact with plasmonic waves - oscillations of electrons at the Earth’s surface of the graphene strip - to send and receive information .
Of course , this is just the preliminary groundwork on a piece of music of tech that does n’t exactly exist yet . Next the Georgia Tech chemical group will have to figure out manufacturing , and how to make the necessary components — signaling generators , amplifier , and so off — so the antennas will actually work . But the thought of lightning - fast wireless downloads is enough to be a little excited for the time to come . [ MIT Technology Review ]
