Part of the 230th ACS National Meeting, in Washington, DC, Aug 28-Sept 1, 2005, will include a session about “Analytical Applications of Terahertz Spectroscopy” on Tuesday, 30 August 2005.
A look at some of innovations in optics this month including a terahertz study of imflammable liquids in plastic bottles.
A versatile technology that can spot cracks in space shuttle foam, while also offering the potential to see biological agents through a sealed envelope and detect tumors without harmful radiation, will be the focus of a full-day symposium at the 230th national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C.
The 27th International Free Electron Laser Conference will be held August 21-26, 2005, at Stanford University, California, USA. FEL2005 will focus on the scientific, technological, and user aspects of free electron lasers.
A workshop on the generation and application to physics, chemistry and biology of high peak power, short pulse duration THz radiation, will be held at SLAC on August 19-20, 2005. The workshop will explore methods of producing high peak power, short pulse THz radiation from electron beams, and the applications of the radiation to science. August 19 & 20, 2005, Stanford, CA.
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory has awarded Goodrich Corporation a $3 million, one-year research and development contract for the fabrication of a specialized spectrometer with the potential to differentiate the terahertz (THz) signatures of hazardous substances, including explosives and chemical and biological agents.
Very High Speed Circuits Based on Metal-Insulator Technology May Significantly Boost Data Rates for Wireless Communications and Provide Higher Resolution for Radar and Imaging Applications
The London subway attacks put a spotlight on the problem of shielding mass transit against terrorists. A new technology, called terahertz radiation, could give officials a way to spot terrorists carrying bombs in crowds of commuters.
Australian researchers have begun developing advanced surveillance systems capable of recognising suspicious behaviour to combat crime and potential terrorist activity on public transport.
