Innovative Composite Opens Terahertz Frequencies to Many Applications

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

A frequency-agile metamaterial that for the first time can be tuned over a range of frequencies in the so-called “terahertz gap” has been engineered by a team of researchers from Boston College, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Boston University.

Prototype Terahertz Imager Promises Biochem Advances

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated a new imaging system that detects naturally occurring terahertz radiation with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. The technology may become a new tool chemical and biochemical analyses ranging from early tumor detection to rapid and precise identification of chemical hazards for homeland security instruments.

Harnessing the power of terahertz radiation

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Engineers have successfully demonstrated wires that carry plasmons at frequencies from the far-infrared end of the electromagnetic spectrum. According to researchers, terahertz radiation waveguides could be a reality in as little as decade, allowing a big jump transmission speeds.
