Scientists at the University College London have set a new world record in wireless data transmission speeds, sending a blistering 938 Gigabits per second (Gbps) over the air through a combo of radio and light technology.

Good news for the 51 million Americans with chronic pain: Scientists have unraveled the neuronal disturbances that can see acute pain turn into a long-term nightmare, and with some targeted cell therapy, could potentially stop this process altogether.

While 5G feels pretty new and flashy, the industry is already making preparations for the next generation. LG Electronics and the Fraunhofer Institute have now conducted a test that set a new distance record for data transmission using 6G technology.

A million Americans are living with Parkinson’s disease, a neurological condition that, as it progresses, robs people of their quality of life. Now, a new mechanism has been uncovered that could potentially be treated to slow neurological decline.

It's cheap, easy to transport, effective and non-invasive. Scientists have had their eye on genetically modified lettuce for insulin delivery for a while now (we're as surprised as you are), but it's one step closer after this promising animal trial.

Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a way to potentially slow down the cellular aging process, using an oscillating genetic 'clock.' In tests, yeast cells were found to live significantly longer than those without.

For all they do for us, our hearts aren't very good at repairing themselves. Now however, inspired by young hearts, researchers have transmuted scars into healthy tissue in mice, walking back the damage brought about by heart attacks.

While short-range radio remote control may be fine for consumer drones, long-distance delivery drones often use cellular networks to communicate with their operators. A new mobile network system could make the latter method much more reliable.

It may feel like 5G only just arrived, but 6G is already on the horizon. Engineers at LG and HHI have now tripled the distance record for data transmission over 6G, reaching a new milestone for practical urban coverage.

There are two main versions of 5G technology, depending on what you prioritize – speed or coverage. But now, engineers at UC San Diego have found a way to get the best of both worlds, using an algorithm to bounce faster signals around obstacles.

It may feel like 5G networks are only just becoming mainstream, but the next iteration, 6G, is already in the works. Samsung has now demonstrated its first prototype 6G system in an over-the-air test, using terahertz (THz) frequencies.

Samsung claims to have achieved a 5G data speed record, delivering a massive 5.23 Gigabits per second to a single device. This record was set by passing some of the load to 4G frequencies at the same time, all while using commercially available tech.
