Scientists who observed the accelerated growth of mouse neurons after the rodents were exposed to brief, low-dose radiation from terahertz waves say their findings have implications for future communication devices. Radio waves in the terahertz band can boost a smartphone’s bandwidth to 1 terabit per second (Tbps). It is a hot candidate for next-generation communication technology , or 6G. After a three-minute exposure to 100-microwatt pulse radiation with wide frequencies ranging from 0.3 to 3 terahertz, the mouse neurons grow nearly 150 per cent faster than normal in a Petri dish, according to the researchers. The total length of connections...
