Using X-Rays for better bandwidth in your data centers

The bandwidth increase is really promising. The only problem with X-Rays is that exposure to them is fatal.

It seems like the propagation issue is significant. What about radiation effects in semiconductors they will cause? What about using other modulation like QAM or OFDM at 60 GHz? What about advances in fiber?

"NASA has recently demonstrated an X-Ray data modulator [3], although at less than 1 Mbps. Further engineering may close this gap."
