SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the use of nuclear radiation, specifically fast neutrons, for wireless data transmission as detailed in the article from The Register and the scientific paper from ScienceDirect. The current transmission speed is approximately a few bits per minute over a distance of half a meter, which is significantly slower than conventional wireless technologies. Participants express skepticism regarding practical applications, comparing the technology's efficiency to that of a toilet flush sensor. Overall, the consensus indicates that while the concept is intriguing, it lacks immediate practical utility.
