RE: Curating the Internet: Science and technology digest for February 7, 2020
"The technology relies upon the use of 3,000 tiny antennas along with software that arranges them in a way that will optimize reception. The technology is expected to cost just $0.02 per antenna..."
So, $60/chip. Not an insignificant cost. The advance in communications capability is surely worth it, IMHO.
Gratified to see the new research that reveals what I have expected, that hybridization across humans has certainly involved Africa.
Thanks!
Agreed. Especially considering that the antennas that they would be replacing also have a cost. So, at least a portion of that $60 would be offset by the elimination of the existing antennas in the wifi devices of the future. No idea how much of an offset that would be, though. I could be wrong, but I don't think it was included in the article.
I also would have been surprised if this had not turned out to be the case.
