🚀 Japan has just set a world record for internet speed at one million gigabytes/second!
Imagine downloading 10,000 movies in 4K quality in one second. The new fiber optics in Japan made that possible.
In a groundbreaking leap for global internet infrastructure, Japanese researchers broke records by transferring data at a speed of 1.02 petabits per second - that is one million gigabytes per second - over more than 1,100 miles using specialized fiber optics no thicker than the fiber optics we use today.
