Professor Stan Skafidis and his team of Melbourne University have made this small chip for wireless data exchange.

The chip is about a few millimeters in size, manages data transfers up to 5 gigabits per second, has a radius of 10 meters and works at 60 GHz spectrum.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have so much bandwidth in your room that all the other devices (laptop, tv, mobile phone, camera etc.) can use?

The chip uses less than 2 Watts of power and it costs like USD 10 to make it
