Scientists develop multi-frequency microchip to boost 6G and quantum tech

Scientists have created a microchip capable of generating multiple stable light frequencies at the same time, a system they call 'rainbow on a chip'. The technology can convert these light frequencies into millimetre waves, which are essential for next-generation 6G wireless networks. Beyond telecommunications, the chip also shows potential for precise timing applications in quantum computing. However, researchers note that further development is required before the technology can be deployed in real-world settings.
