Frequency mixers are vital components in many electronic devices and operate using frequencies that oscillate billions (GHz , gigahertz) to trillions (THz) of times per second .

Lightwave electronics aims to integrate optical and electronic systems at incredibly high speeds.

MIT researchers have developed an electronic frequency mixer for signal detection that operates beyond 0.350 PHz using tiny nanoantennae.

This study paves the way for new technologies and applications in fields like spectroscopy, imaging, and communications.

It will advance our ability to explore and manipulate the ultrafast dynamics of light.

The study was published in Science Advances ( 2024 ) by MIT News .
