Today's cellular and Wi-fi networks rely on microwaves to carry voice conversations and data. But the increasing demands for data transfer are quickly becoming more than microwaves can handle.
Terahertz waves have a much higher frequency and therefore more potential bandwidth. Scientists and engineers have begun only recently exploring the potential of terahertz waves, however.
In the electromagnetic spectrum, terahertz radiation lies between infrared radiation and microwaves. Particle accelerators usually rely on electromagnetic radiation from the radio frequency range;

Charge your refrigerator wirelessly? As the commercialization of early applications for mobile gadgets accelerates, some engineers are focused on the longer-term potential for wireless power.
A marble countertop, for example, could be rigged to charge a wireless coffeemaker and a blender along with a variety of phones, tablets and computers as needed.
the technology might even help reduce production costs for large appliances like kitchen refrigerators, Fransen says.
The Internet of things will need more microwave bands with shorter wavelengths. Cell phones are need already to link to GPS and Wi-fi services on top of 4g and other cellular networks.
What more, they demonstrated that microwave transmitter and receiver chips made this way perform as well as their silicon or Gaas counterparts. ctually,
the researchers created several microwave Gaas devices, such as arrays of Gainp/Gaas heterojunction bipolar transistors, as well as circuits containing capacitors, RF inductors and Schottky diodes.
It was designed for the microwave range with a 0. 6 cm thickness to handle 6 cm wavelengths, simply because those larger dimensions made it easier to work with.
But Kante points out that microwave cloaks could be useful for the military, to hide objects from radar working at such wavelengths.
which can be the size of a refrigerator and require jugs of pricey chemicals this one measures DNA directly as the molecule is drawn through a tiny pore suspended in a membrane.
or eliminate defrost cycles in freezers, which accounts for about a quarter of the appliance total energy consumption.
Initial tests of actual freezer components showed that the material can reduce defrosting energy consumption by 40 percent,
Freezers may be the first application of the technology, but it could also work for larger applications like airplanes,

#Russia is developing a'MICROWAVE GUN':'Weapon can shoot a drone out of the sky from six miles away, claims military official By Jonathan O'Callaghan for Mailonline Published:
By directing high-frequency microwaves towards a target, it is theoretically possibly to destroy unprotected electronics.
The gun would use a'reflector antenna'to focus the microwaves created by a generator.
Aside from microwaves this can also include radio waves, lasers and even sound waves. The microwave gun is evidence of plans by Russia to modernise its armed forces,

'Thrust measurements of the EMDRIVE defy classical physicsexpectations that such a closed (microwave) cavity should be unusable for space propulsion because of the law of conservation of momentum,
It provides thrust to a spacecraft by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. Solar energy provides the electricity to power the microwaves,
which means that no propellant is needed. The implications for this could be huge. For instance, current satellites could be half the size they are today without the need to carry fuel.
