NASA’s Wi-Fi Reflector Chip Speeds Up Wearables

Whether you’re tracking your steps, monitoring your health, or sending photos from a smart watch, you want the battery life of your wearable device to last as long as possible. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, is working on microchips for wearable devices that reflect wireless signals instead of using regular transmitters and receivers. Their solution transmits information up to three times faster than regular Wi-Fi.
