For years, engineers have had their eyes on terahertz radiation–a band of radio waves that could be used to capture images as clear as x-rays without the harmful radiation, and that could be ...

Healthy skin contains about 70% water, so Pickwell and co-workers first developed a computer model that simulated the interaction of terahertz radiation with water. They tested the model by comparing ...

And the trick they used to make this discovery is an entirely type of analysis using terahertz waves. Terahertz radiation occupies ... The resulting images are much more revealing than those ...

A project at Queen Mary University of London has developed a novel biosensor using metasurfaces to detect terahertz radiation, designed to spot the onset of skin cancer ... This approach "provides a ...

This makes it particularly suitable for medical imaging, where it can be used to produce high-resolution images of the human body without exposing patients to harmful radiation ... skin diseases. For ...

Terahertz source: the work was done at the Laboratory for Laser Plasmas at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. (Courtesy: Laboratory for Laser Plasmas, Shanghai Jiao Tong University) Bright pulses of ...

Terahertz radiation, falling between the infrared and microwave ... from obtaining the accurate reflections from target tissues needed to build up images of the skin. The breakthrough involves a novel ...

meaning that this effect would only be on surface skin cells. One issue that has remained unexplored, however, is whether terahertz radiation can affect biological tissues even after it has been ...

Terahertz radiation, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared light, penetrates cloth and leather and just a few millimeters into the skin, but without the ...

Medically, terahertz radiation has seen success in the early detection of various types of cancer, including breast cancer, colon cancer and skin cancer. It’s also been used in dentistry imaging.

Researchers at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, have published a review article on the terahertz (THz) radiation in quantum materials. The work, led by Surui Yang ...

It could reportedly also find use diagnosing the early stages of skin cancer. The system works by emitting a beam of terahertz-frequency radiation into the applied paint. That beam harmlessly ...
