Researchers seem to have cracked 6G wireless, achieving speeds over 9,000x faster than the 5G average at 938 Gbps—would download Black Myth Wukong in 1.1 seconds

Fibre optics shooting past electronics of broadband hub.

The science people have been at it again, doing their sciencing, and this time they've gone and proved that wireless speeds can be even speedier than the already-speedy speeds we're used to. Over 9,000-times faster, in fact.

Some nerds over at University College London (UCL) have set a new wireless transfer speed record (via Interesting Engineering) by combining all-electronic and optical ("optoelectronic") methods. The ultimate end-result is a wireless transfer speed of 938 Gbps. And I'm sure, like me, you probably consider that a bit of a failure. Seriously, they couldn't push a little harder and crack the 1,000 Gbps barrier? So close and yet so far.
