Scientists have developed what they claim is a small scratch on a piece of glass, which will make the Internet nearly 60 times faster and give users unlimited, error-free access anywhere in the world.
\"This is a critical building block and a fundamental advance on what is already out there. We are talking about networks that are potentially up to 100 times faster without costing the consumer any more,\" lead researcher Ben Eggleton at the University of Sydney said.
\"The scratched glass we have developed is actually a Photonic Integrated Circuit. This circuit uses the ‘scratch' as a guide or a switching path for information — kind of like when trains are switched from one track to another — except this switch takes only one picosecond to change tracks. This means that in one second the switch is turning on and off about one million times.\"
Though the initial demonstration has shown that it is possible to achieve speeds 60 times faster than many current networks, with further development, the process is likely to produce even faster results, according to the researchers.
