same wavelength

Borzykin is part of a volleyball group of Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians and says they are "all on the same wavelength".

"Our two-layer embryo-like aggregates were the key to our success. Other studies usually use a mixture of different stem cell lines. However, the cell populations we used come from just one stem cell line. This means that they not only have an identical genetic background, but also utilise the same communication systems. You could also say that they are on the same wavelength," says Schröter.

Grossi said his May 28 discussions with Russian officials were to “assure that we are on the same wavelength” but that the outcome could not be characterized as a “formal agreement.”

To make the devices interface, the team created a system where both devices used the same wavelength.

Not only did the wavelength of these two devices match, but it is at the same wavelength as telecommunications networks used today -- allowing it to be transmitted with regular fibre-optic cables familiar in everyday internet connections.
