Researchers from Spain’s UPC and Georgia Tech have been granted $120,000 from Samsung to develop graphene based micrometer-scale highs-peed short-distance antennas. This project (called Graphene-Enabled Wireless Communication, or GEWC). These antennas could radiate electromagnetic waves in the terahertz band and would allow for high-speed information transmission. These antennas will be a thousand times smaller than what can be made with current technology.
The first application will probably be high-speed communication inside a single device – for example between the CPU and the memory, or between cores in multi-core processors. In fact the researchers say that this technology could lead to processor with thousands of “sub processors”.
