Japan Researchers Develop Anti Wi-Fi Paint

Are you currently stealing bandwidth from your neighbor's non-protected Wi-Fi connection? If you are, then pray that he or she doesn't read this then, because the researchers at University of Tokyo claimed that they have just created a paint solution that is able to block out wireless signals. Though there's nothing new about frequency absorbing paint, this particular batch is actually the first paint ever that is able to absorb frequencies as high as 100GHz. As a comparison, Wi-Fi signals run on the 2.4GHz spectrum, a pretty huge buffer there.

But stopping people from stealing your Wi-Fi signals is not the only problem that this new paint could solve. According to the leader of the team, Shin-ichi Ohkoshi, they already looking into many other usage for their paint such as protective clothing and jamming phone signal in cinemas. In fact, the team are currently developing another new paint that would be able to block frequencies up to 200GHz.

That's it leechers, your time is going to be outnumbered. Time to get your own Internet, you cheapskates! Theses Japanese are really high-tech!


obviously this is not the paint (hahahaha)
