An ultrahigh speed, wireless communication network using THz instead of GHz frequencies is now one step closer. In a Nature Photonics publication, researchers at Radboud University’s FELIX Laboratory have shown that it is possible to effectively transmit signal waves with THz frequencies through the existing fibre optic network.

FELIX researchers have demonstrated the first use of infrared ion spectroscopy (IRIS) to characterize the structures of peptide fragments generated by electron transfer dissociation (ETD).
9 June 2016
FELIX researchers revealed the structural identification of reagent anions frequently used in mass-spectrometric analyses. Analytical Chemistry published their results in May 2016.
