SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of using nuclear antennas for high-frequency communication. Participants express skepticism about the practicality of nuclear antennas for long-distance communication due to the significant energy requirements involved. The concept of extremely high-frequency light absorption by nucleons is introduced, referencing a source from AIP. Overall, the consensus leans towards the impracticality of this technology for effective communication.

A new generation of antenna engineering?
Could nuclear antennae be used for extremely high bandwidth communication?

I seriously doubt that. Certainly not over long distances, and it would seem impractical because of the energy required.
