Breakthrough Ultrathin Film Absorbs 99% of Electromagnetic Waves

Korean researchers develop a versatile material that enhances electronic reliability by reducing interference across multiple frequency bands.

  • Developed by the Korea Institute of Materials Science, the new film absorbs electromagnetic waves from 5G/6G, WiFi, and radar frequencies.
  • This innovative material addresses interference issues by absorbing rather than reflecting electromagnetic waves, unlike traditional shielding solutions.
  • The film combines magnetic composites and carbon nanotubes, achieving high absorption rates while remaining under 0.5mm thick.
  • Tests show the material's durability, maintaining performance even after 5,000 bends, making it suitable for flexible electronics.
  • The material is patented in Korea and is being applied in communication devices and automobiles, with further patents pending internationally.
