Chinese Scientists Smash Records with Superconducting Tech on Qinghai-Xizang Plateau 🌏
Imagine streaming 4K videos using a signal weaker than a whisper! 🎥 That’s exactly what a team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences just pulled off in a historic experiment. Using cutting-edge superconducting receivers, they transmitted high-definition video over 1.2 kilometers—all with one-millionth the power of a typical cell tower! 🔋
Why Terahertz is a Game-Changer 🌐
Think of terahertz (THz) waves as the six-lane highway of wireless communication. Researcher Li Jing explains: 'It’s like upgrading from a two-lane road—microwaves—to something way faster.' THz waves sit between microwaves and light, offering massive bandwidth for future 6G networks and beyond. 💨
High Altitude, Low Power 🏔️
The team braved 4,000-meter altitudes in Qinghai Province to test this tech. Despite freezing temps and ultra-low transmission power (just 10 microwatts!), their superconducting receiver—developed over 30 years—snagged the HD signal like a pro. 📡
What’s Next? 🚀
This breakthrough isn’t just about Earth. Academician Shi Shengcai says it’s key for space-based communication—think instant satellite data or Mars rover live streams! 🛰️ With China leading in superconducting tech, expect faster, greener networks soon. 🌱
