Scientists Revolutionize Wireless Communication With Three-Dimensional Processors

Researchers from the University of Florida’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have developed a three-dimensional processor for wireless communication that utilizes the power of semiconductor technology. Wireless communication has typically relied on planar processors, which are only able to operate within a certain part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The processor was created by Roozbeh Tabrizian, Ph.D., an associate professor in UF’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and marks a shift in wireless communication as the world becomes increasingly connected and rapidly exchanges real-time data.

Comparable to a city with too much traffic, current systems are sending too much data through these planar processors, and new, three-dimensional ones are needed to keep up with demand.

This new processor is more efficient, takes up less space, and can be scaled indefinitely, meaning it will be able to meet future demands. The technology was featured on the cover of the journal Nature Electronics.
