Antennas that use plasma to focus beams of radio waves could bring multi-gigabit wireless networks The Wi-Gig standard is expected to go up to between 1 and 7 gigabits per second – fast enough to ...

It's annoying when the Wi-Fi connection is slow. But don't blame your kids -- look instead to the nature of traditional antennas. To satisfy our Facebook addiction and mobile TV habits, we tap into ...

Plasma antennas represent a transformative approach in the manipulation and propagation of electromagnetic waves. By utilising ionised gases instead of traditional metallic elements, these antennas ...

A new antenna made of plasma (a gas heated to the point that the electrons are ripped free of atoms and molecules) works just like conventional metal antennas, except that it vanishes when you turn it ...

In this paper, the authors designed to prove that monopole plasma antenna is better than that of traditional metal antenna in terms of bandwidth, directivity, gain, radiation efficiency, VSWR and ...

BEFORE you leave for work in the morning, your smartphone downloads the latest episode of a television series. Your drive to work is easy in spite of fog, thanks to in-car radar and the intelligent ...

A radio antenna made of electrified gas could lead to stealthy, jamming-resistant transmitters, research now reveals. Electrified gas, or plasma, makes up stars and lightning and is what sheds light ...

Plasma Antennas, the pioneers of plasma silicon technology, has unveiled the mmWave Plasma Silicon Antenna (PSiAN) that, according to the company, will provide huge improvements in the performance for ...

Plasma Antennas, the inventors of plasma silicon technology, today announced that it has joined Small Cell Forum (SCF), the global industry body driving the wide-scale adoption of small cells and ...

If you want to catch a firefly, any old glass jar will do. But when you're trying to bottle a star—the goal of fusion energy research—the bottle needs to be very special. A tokamak is one type of ...
