Terabit Ethernet Inches Closer To Reality

Posted by kdawson on Friday February 13, 2009 @04:58AM from the beyond-electronics dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers from Australia, Denmark, and China have combined efforts to show the feasibility of terabit-per-second Ethernet over fiber-optic cables. The solution involves a photonic chip that uses laser light for switching signals, and a form of the exotic material type, chalcogenide, or arsenic trisulfide."

It's called research, genius. It's not a product announcement. This is Slashdot. If you want to drool over things you can't afford go read Engadget and the like.
