There are not many people today that have not heard of the Internet but not everyone knows where did the Internet come from. Every individual may not know much about what it is, but almost everyone has at least heard the word. People know that it has something to do with computers and that you can find almost anything on it. Both of these statements are true, but there is much more to it than that. The Internet has turned into something that was never conceived of when it was first constructed.
Existing communications and computer architecture are increasingly being limited by the pedestrian speed of electrons moving through wires, and the future of high-speed communication and computing is in optics, experts say. The Holy Grail of results would be "wireless interconnecting," which operates at speeds 100 to 1,000 times faster than current technology. The new discovery, made by researchers at Oregon State University, the University of Iowa and Philipps University in Germany, has identified a way in which nanoscale devices based on gallium arsenide can respond to strong terahertz pulses for an extremely short period, controlling the electrical signal in a semiconductor. The research builds on previous findings for which OSU holds an issued patent.
