While 5G is still in the process of being adopted globally, researchers are already exploring the potential of the next generation of wireless technology: 6G. A team from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst has found a way to utilize the human body as an antenna. As a result, 6G wireless could actually use people as antennas.
As 5G technology becomes more widely adopted, researchers from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst have already begun considering the potential of 6G. According to the study, one unique aspect of 6G could be its use of human beings as antennas, a departure from previous wireless technologies.
One possibility for 6G technology is the use of Visible Light Communication (VLC), a wireless version of fiberoptic communication. Currently, fiberoptic communication relies on thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit data through flashes of light. While these fibers are able to transmit large amounts of information, they are also delicate and prone to ...
