A new study from a research team at the Center for Wireless Communications Network and Systems (CWC-NS) at the University of Oulu has introduced an approach using near-infrared (NIR) light beyond ...

Scientists have turned a long-standing sci‑fi idea into working hardware, using pure light to move data wirelessly through the air instead of relying on radio waves or copper traces. The result is a ...

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time a mechanically flexible silver mesh that is visibly transparent, allows high-quality infrared wireless optical communication and efficiently shields ...

Scientists have revealed a futuristic 'communication with light' system that uses light pulses instead of radio waves to ...

Setup of subcutaneous NIR-II power supply. a) Schematic of a subcutaneous NIR-II power supply device made by combining photovoltaic and thermoelectric conversions. b) The absorption of SC-Si cells in ...

Wireless charging has liberated some users from requiring cords and outlets, but the technology comes with limits, as devices must be within close proximity to RF-based or magnetic-induction wireless ...

Imec (Leuven, Belgium) is developing a single-chip ultra-low-power impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) IC for use in the worldwide available 6 to 10-GHz band. The target application area is ...

Optical wireless broadband solution developer Infra-Com Technologies (Netanya, Israel) has developed an alternative to line-of-sight wireless LAN methods such as IrDA. Called IrGate diffused IR (DIR), ...
