- Engineers in China and the US have developed a 6G chip achieving speeds over 100 Gbps, 10x faster than 5G's theoretical limit.
- The chip is tiny (11mm x 1.7mm) and operates across a broad frequency range (0.5 GHz to 115 GHz) using nine radio bands.
- It uses an electro-optic modulator to convert radio signals to optical signals and optoelectronic oscillators for radio frequency generation.
- 6G technology is expected to roll out in the 2030s, addressing increasing data demands from UHD streaming and AI integration.
- The research was published in Nature by scientists from Peking University, City University of Hong Kong, and UC Santa Barbara.
