Internet download speeds are faster and faster. A decade , we measured in kilobytes per second; today it’s megabytes, and it may be terabytes (one terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes). Scientists in the USA and Israel created a wireless system can transfer 2.5 terabits per second. That’s 300 gigabytes, or the data on 70 DVDs. If you don’t understand numbers, 2.5 terabits a second is around 24,000 times than today’s -speed connections.

Researchers created what they “infinite-capacity wireless vortex beams” that can an unlimited amount of . It is the fastest wireless network created and it could seriously how we work and play . The system works by twisting light in a corkscrew and the information travels along the of light. Things are still at the stages – scientists can only send data a distance of one metre. They say that the next step is to figure how to create satellite-to-satellite communication.
