A tiny, bendable antenna capable of 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity has been developed by scientists, and rather than being made for phones or a smartwatch, it’s for smart clothing. The 2-port ...

Within the ever-shrinking realm of sensors for wearable technologies, there is sure to be a place for tiny antennas as well.

L band is from 1 GHz to 2 GHz, so signals and antennas get very strange at these frequencies. The wavelength of a 2GHz signal is only 15cm, so small antennas can work quite well and are often as ...

The results are published in Nano Letters. "When we combine these tiny antennas to shape light waves, we can move away from relying on shaped glass or other refractive materials," Lawrence said.

The principle of this work is demonstrated by using a laser to levitated nanoparticles and make them carry an electric charge to become an antenna that receives an external electric field ...
