A group of researchers from MIT have discovered a new method for reading through the pages of a closed book. Using terahertz (THz) imaging and a number of complex and carefully developed complex algorithms - judging a book by its cover is now possible.
Terahertz lasers could potentially be used in security and medical diagnostics because of their ability to detect chemicals and evaluate materials. However, the technology will need to be improved before it is widely adopted.
An electrical engineer at the University of Queensland has developed a prototype for a terahertz laser imaging system that can identify tumors in their early stages.
Explosives could soon be detected with a handheld device that uses terahertz spectroscopy to identify chemicals. A team of researchers developed a chip scale system that could replace traditional bulky and slow terahertz spectroscopy systems.
Scientists in Switzerland have discovered yet another unique property of graphene, the 2D version of carbon. Not only is graphene fast, strong, thin, and lightweight, but now we know that it is also both transp... Read More...
