Glowing orange light waves travel along and bend around a geometric, triangular-patterned surface, illustrating researchers guiding light through a structured material to form a 6G terahertz “super-antenna.”

Using geometry, researchers coax light into 6G terahertz “super-antenna”

Engineers have long focused their efforts on confining signal-carrying photons to chips. Every photon that escapes, they reasoned, is information lost. But one group of researchers has stood that paradigm on its head. By deliberately “leaking” photons into the air, they created, not the …
