The Chinese scientists have come closer to develop a faster wireless communication channel that would be accessible in the next six years. They have made progress in creating full-color emissive carbon dots (F-CDs).

LiFi or Light Fidelity transfer data at a rapid pace using visible light from LED bulbs. It is much faster than radio wave-based Wi-Fi.

The latest research going on related to Li-Fi uses rare earth materials to provide light, but Chinese experts have come up with another option, F-CDs, a fluorescent carbon nanomaterial to provide light. This method is safer, reliable and faster.

Qu Songnan, an associate researcher at Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics, and Physics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, “Many researchers around the world are still working on this. We were the first to successfully create it using cost-effective raw materials such as urea with simple processing.”

Qu informed that as the rare earth has a longer lifespan it diminish the speed of Li-Fi transmission. F-CDs, on the other hand, provides faster transmission of data.

New nanomaterial introduced by Qu’s group of scientists can emit all light visible to the human eye. This is an innovative development in fluorescent carbon nanomaterial field. Qu further added that this breakthrough this essential in the development of Li-Fi which he anticipates will enter the market in next six years.

As per statistics, Li-Fi can reach a speed of 50 gigabytes per second. So in simplest terms, your movies can download in 0.3 seconds. I believe this would define the importance of this discovery to a common man.

Technology is all about improvement, kudos

Tech booked!!?

.

Whoaaaaa! Awesomeeeeee!! Cool stuff!!!

okay

Will only make sense if the back end can handle such speeds.

It won't overshadow Wi-Fi anytime soon...

And for those saying China introduced it, it is false...

Professor Harald Haas, coined the term "Li-Fi" at his 2011 TED Global Talk where he introduced the idea of "Wireless data from every light". He is Chairman of Mobile Communications at the University of Edinburgh and co-founder of pureLiFi.

Ni-fi's next

Nice development, keep it up China.

and the "we developed Lagos" gang we do Bia-fi for them iPod

China? Are they not our brethren know for manufacturing short life spanned products loved by afrikaans

waiting for those that would say this is false information

false information

Kudos to china.
looking forward to the day we stop exporting yam and crude oil, and invest more in technology free of corruption.

I just can't imagine the kind of technology in the next
50 years.
The future will indeed be interesting

It will take 10yrs to come naija

From China?

same old Sh*t

the name funny sha

It's being rumoured to debut for years now.

Change is constant.. Although good change

good

Been seeing this for a while now ... I'm waiting tho!

lemme book space
