A rare mineral discovered in Russia in the 1830's could hold the key to boosting internet speeds 1,000 times faster than today. The mineral, perovskite, has a number of incredible properties, many of which scientists are now realizing.

Perovskite (CaTiO3) is a calcium titanium oxide mineral, but the magic lies in this minerals ability to house many different cations in its physical structure, giving engineers the ability to modify the mineral as they see fit. While scientists have known about the mineral for quite some time, originally discovered in the Ural Mountains in Russia in 1839, researchers continue to find useful characteristics of this mineral.

Perovskite is found in Earth's mantle has been mined in Arkansas, the Urals, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany. Each variety has a slightly different chemical makeup, allowing for different physical characteristics. One such useful characteristic discovered in 2009 is perovskite's ability to absorb sunlight and generate electricity, a natural form of a photovoltaic cell (solar cell). The mineral is currently under development for use in solar cells, displays, and catalytic converters.


Now, scientists have discovered the mineral's ability to use the terahertz spectrum in transferring data. The specific type of perovskite used is both inorganic and organic and can be thinly layered on a silicon wafer. The system's unique ability is that it uses light instead of electricity to transfer data, allowing transfer speeds 1,000 times faster than current technology.




Too bad we'll never use it if Net Neutrality is abolished and we go back to the stone ages of communication...
No Kimoyo beads for us to use.

Can this be the first step in light year travel? If it uses light as energy how much energy can it hold and how can the energy be released as a fuel.
:jbhmm:

I'm having my morning wake and bake and just thought this
