Scientists at the University of Bristol have made a breakthrough in semiconductor technology, paving the way for super-fast 6G networks.
6G networks are expected to be faster and more powerful than 5G, enabling instant data sharing globally for applications like remote medical care and smarter driverless cars.
The team developed a new type of radio frequency amplifier using a latch effect, improving signal efficiency. These amplifiers are made from gallium nitride and have more than 1,000 tiny fins to boost current.
Testing showed that the new technology is durable and can further increase power. Researchers aim to integrate this technology into real-world products with the potential to fulfill science fiction dreams through 6G technology.
