Using the Terahertz Spectrum for Wireless Communication

holy_calamity writes "A first step to allowing wireless data transfer over a currently unused part of the electromagnetic spectrum is reported in New Scientist. Terahertz radiation exists between radio and infrared. A new filter created at the University of Utah can filter out particular frequencies, a prerequisite for using it for data. The abstract of the paper in the journal Nature is freely available."

There is also the slight problem of water absorption of the signal [...] so communication would have to be rather short-haul as in LAN.

Which is EXACTLY what TFA said...

But hey, what do I know, your post is a +5, so it must be somehow insightful, not 100% redundant.
