Researchers Develop a Way to Transmit an Entire Internet’s Worth of Data in a Second
The modern internet is—at its core—a complex network of cables and routers known as the internet backbone. This system is responsible for transmitting incredible amounts of data across the world every second of every day. In July 2021, Japanese researchers achieved a whopping 319 terabytes per second (Tb/s) across a fiber optic cable. As recently announced in Nature Photonics, researchers have hit another milestone in the quest for fast, extremely large data transfers.
