Micro radio and bacteria-podcasters

While browsing through some articles on media and technology I found several interesting ones.

First can support the micro brain chip idea on one of the seminars. This article tells how graphene can receive radio waves and that it can be used for the radio industry for a very fast and quality transmission. Since the receivers will be tiny it will be possible to place them into the chip and then to the human brain. Or to the earring. Or to any other futuristic device.

Second article tells about how bacteria can generate radio waves. Applied to our course it means that potentially people will be able to listen to waves transmitted by live bodies.

Would like to mention that this post is of a rather joking character but there is a part of joke in everything. The purpose was to show that technology is moving really fast.

Thanks for reading!

  1. That's one of those moments where I can say - I told you so :D The human broadcaster/telepathy radio era isn't far!

  2. Ha! I wonder what radio programs bacteria listen to? Perhaps Kaupo can find out (telepathically) and get back to us with his findings? ;-)

    From article #1
    "The biggest drawback: the nano radio works at -321° F, so it will need some tweaks before it can be used in communications devices."
