Graphene-based Nanoantennas Could Allow WLANs of Nanodevices

Freshly Exhumed writes "With the onslaught of graphene experimentation, especially in computing and RF, news from IEEE Spectrum comes that researchers at Georgia Tech have computer-modeled nanoantennas made from graphene that could provide wireless network communications between nanoscopic devices. "We are exploiting the peculiar propagation of electrons in graphene to make a very small antenna that can radiate at much lower frequencies than classical metallic antennas of the same size," said Ian Akyildiz, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in a press release. "We believe that this is just the beginning of a new networking and communications paradigm based on the use of graphene.""

OOH NANO THIS NANO THAT!

Kind of like CYBER security CYBER warfare CYBER terrorism. I am sick and tired of hearing your vulgar, cheap jargon. Nano is 10^-9. Nanoscale means just that.
