Unlike traditional shielding materials that reflect electromagnetic waves, this new material absorbs them, minimizing interference and improving the performance of electronic devices.
“As the applications of 5G/6G communications continue to expand, the importance of electromagnetic wave absorption and shielding materials is growing,” said Byeongjin Park, senior researcher of KIMS, who led the development.
Park added: “This material has the potential to significantly improve the reliability of wireless communication devices such as smartphones and autonomous vehicle radars.”
