Memphisto Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Polymers may rocket Net speed to 145GHz By Sandeep Junnarkar Special to ZDNet News November 15, 2002, 5:05 AM PT Researchers at Bell Labs have cleared the first hurdle to potentially increasing Internet speeds to well above today's fastest rates. The scientists at Lucent Technologies' research arm have demonstrated in a controlled laboratory setting that certain polymer materials have physical properties to channel data signals at tremendous speeds. The rate could approach a heady 145GHz--much faster than widely used optical networks that typically clock in at about 10GHz, or 10 billion cycles per second.
