Researchers at the Массачусетского технологического института have developed a new chip for smart devices with 5G support, which is 30 times more efficient than traditional solutions.
The chip uses a low-power filtering system to stabilize wireless signals, ideal for 5G connectivity.
It's designed for wearables, smart thermostats, home monitoring systems, and other devices like the Apple Watch SE (2nd generation).
The new design allows for smaller batteries, making gadgets more compact. Researchers also plan to use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals to power the chip, eliminating the need for an external power source.
