Amid 6G promises, scientists find a way to wring incredible speeds out of boring old fiber
What just happened? Scientists in Japan have just blown the doors off what we thought was possible with conventional fiber optic cables. A team led by the country's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has set a new world record by transmitting data at a blistering 402 terabits per second through an existing fiber optic line. That's fast enough to download over 50,000 HD movies in a single second.
