LG Breaks Record for 6G Data Transmission

LG Electronics has successfully tested the wireless transmission and reception of 6G terahertz data - at a frequency range of 155 to 175 GHz - over a distance of 320 meters outdoors. The milestone represents a significant step toward commercializing 6G THz in both indoor and outdoor urban areas since the reference cell coverage of base stations for urban macro cells is a distance of approximately 250 meters outdoors. It is also a major jump from August last year, when LG proved it could transfer 6G THz data over a distance of 100 meters outdoors.

Rubber Material Holds Key to Long-Lasting, Safer EV Batteries

Researchers have found a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries made from a common material: rubber.

Breathable Skin Monitors that Wick the Sweat Away​

A new preparation technique fabricates thin, silicone-based patches that rapidly wick water away from the skin. The technique could reduce the redness and itching caused by wearable biosensors that trap sweat beneath them.

Wirelessly Rechargeable Soft Brain Implant Uses Light to Control Cells

Researchers have invented a smartphone-controlled soft brain implant that can be recharged wirelessly from outside the body. It enables long-term neural circuit manipulation without the need for periodic disruptive surgeries to replace the battery of the implant.
