I took a poke at the abstract of the paper, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07759-5, and its been a few years since I have done carrier grade wireless but.....

The low-loss and broadband beamformer enables a 72-Gbps chip-to-chip wireless link over 300 mm and eight simultaneous 40-Gbps wireless links

I can't be reading this right? They got 72Gb/s over 30cm?
I would love to see where this tech goes and I realise these papers are using ideal circumstance, but I don't see this being used in a meaningful way.

Hope I am wrong though.

Is that a type for 300nm? In other words, electromagnetic radiation that sits just below infrared and just above microwave.

Given the state of fiber, I'm not optimistic.

And given the standards of new movies, what's the benefit of a faster download?

And youtube will still figure out how to fuck up the buffer
