- scriblr, on 10/20/2009, -0/+4"wireless data transmission dominates information technology"
Dominates? I wouldn't go that far. It's useful, but wired data transmission is still critical. - coffeebot, on 10/20/2009, -0/+3It may not seem significant but consider that antennas work both ways. Nanoantennas are either transmitters and can be used to create accurate temperature of light in degrees Kelvin (color) which last centuries --or-- to capture light frequencies and make either accurate detectors of specific wavelengths or to convert light waves to electrical energy (broadband collectors).

radio frequencies are distinct from visible frequencies - bastardx, on 10/20/2009, -1/+4Babelfish should have a Science-english to English option.
- s4g4n, on 10/20/2009, -0/+2This is ***** cool!
- replaysMike, on 10/20/2009, -1/+2optical radio antennas? Science is awesome!

- scriblr, on 10/20/2009, -1/+2You realize that the only difference between light and radio waves is the frequency (and possibly polarization), right?
- BotchaMcCoola, on 10/20/2009, -1/+1Helps keep give the Brits a bad day.
- QuantaPhsyical, on 10/25/2009, -0/+0Right you are. Fibre is much more reliable for high speed data transmission. And this technology is operating at 300,000+ GHz? I believe, but I may be mistake, that is higher than the vibrations in the physical body at a molecular level....Have to admire the practicality, but question the safety first..
I'm interested. :) - PacoBell, on 10/20/2009, -1/+1Optical theory covers far more than just the visible frequencies. It's not an oxymoron.
- HamNCheese, on 10/21/2009, -1/+1Still - wireless came first. Radio and TV signals reach far more people than any wired technology does, and will for quite some time.
- InfiniteNothing, on 10/20/2009, -2/+1That's far too over simplistic. Their interactions with earthly materials like air, water, conductive things, etc make them very different entities for humans.
