T-rays for speedy internet

Do your internet downloads seem to take for ever?
It could be because you need a higher-frequency bandwidth for your Wi-Fi. Scientists in Japan have developed the fastest ever wireless data transmitter. It uses ‘T-rays’, a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum away from the overcrowded frequencies we currently rely on. Data beams out of the transmitter 20 times faster than your home Wi-Fi, equivalent to downloading a high-definition movie in four seconds.
At the moment it only has a very small range, but it could eventually revolutionise the way we transmit data across the internet.

Worth further investigation before getting excited about faster downloading…
Based on our results we argue that a specific terahertz radiation exposure may significantly affect the natural dynamics of DNA, and thereby influence intricate molecular processes involved in gene expression and DNA replication.
