Study shows potential of terahertz frequencies for high-speed, secure communications 

A new experiment at the University of Leeds suggests that the future of high-speed wireless communication may lie in a largely unused region of the electromagnetic spectrum.  In “Free-space optical communications at 4Gbit/s data rate with a terahertz laser”, published in Communications Physics, the team demonstrated how terahertz-frequency light can be used to transmit data wirelessly, through open air, at speeds far beyond those previously achieved at these frequencies.  […]
