Professors Robert Prance and Daniel Roggen pioneered the use of electric waves, a low-power alternative to electromagnetic waves, to transmit data over short distances. Unlike Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or 5G, which rely on older electromagnetic modulation, this innovation consumes significantly less power.
Imagine longer battery life for headphones, fitness trackers and smart home devices. According to Professor Daniel Roggen, this invention is cost-effective. Researchers at the University of Sussex are currently looking for industrial partners to further miniaturize this technology and integrate it into personal devices.
