First we sent data through wires, then the air, now the human body is
becoming a communications conduit.
Researchers at Korea University in Seoul have transmitted data at a
rate of 10 megabits per second through a person's arm, between two
electrodes placed on their skin 30 centimetres apart.
The thin, flexible electrodes use significantly less energy than a
wireless link like Bluetooth. That's because low-frequency
electromagnetic waves pass through skin with little attenuation, a
route that also shelters them from outside interference.
