Researchers spend $60M to build wicked fast circuits

[Computer Hope Admin]

The ability to develop high-powered network devices and systems that can see clearly through considerably dense materials or storms are the driving ideas behind nearly $60 million in contracts awarded this week to firms that are building terahertz-speed circuits.

The advanced research scientists at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are behind the project whose goal is to develop what it calls revolutionary advances in electronic devices and integrated circuits that operate at THz frequencies (at least 1.0 x 10 [to the 12th power] cycles per second).

Wow! Except I probably would want to be anywhere near those chips though, at that speed it you probably would get some EMF going or some really intense signals coming from those chips that would cause Nausea, Dizziness, and stuff of that nature.

You might even start doing this after a while  :

Hehe I don't know about that. Although I really couldn't honestly say how much more EMF or interference it'd generate. I don't believe there was much if any increase between MHz and GHz so couldn't imagine GHz to THz generating more.

I told you those DARPA folks were up to stuff -- and this is the stuff they're letting us know!

Exactly!

Still haven't given us the truth about Roswell
