Picometrix, LLC, has been selected to received a Phase II SBIR contract from NASA and a Phase I SBIR contract from the Air Force for THz nondestructive testing (NDT) application development.
Boston University announced that it is currently prototyping an “invisibility cloak” that functions against electromagnetic waves with a frequency of about 1THz at IEDM 2008.
US researchers have used magnetic fields to push quantum cascade laser (QCL) operation down to a frequency of 0.68THz (at a temperature of 8K), and up to temperatures of 225K at 3THz.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has been awarded a grant for the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) entitled Terahertz Science and Technology — A Studio-Based Approach by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
According to a new technical market research report, the global market for terahertz (THz) radiation system technology is expected to be worth $77.2 million in 2008. This will decrease slightly in 2013, to $63.2 million. However, the market is expected to be worth $521.4 million in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.2% between 2013 and 2018.
New European research on the last, hidden part of the electromagnetic spectrum is producing new, safe and non-destructive tests for medicine, security and industrial quality control.
