The use of terahertz waves, which have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves, could enable faster data ...

In a new study, researchers demonstrate long-term, non-invasive monitoring of blood sodium levels using a system that combines optoacoustic detection with terahertz spectroscopy. The paper is ...

Humans have figured out many ways to utilize radio waves, X-rays, microwaves, infrared light, and many other types of electromagnetic radiation. However, terahertz waves remain an unsolved puzzle ...

Mar 11, 2024: Tuning a terahertz wave filter (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University have addressed one of the key challenges of electromagnetic waves in the terahertz frequency range by ...

Terahertz waves travel as electromagnetic radiation at the speed of light, while spin waves are tied to the existence of interacting spins. Their propagation speed is hundreds of times slower than ...

Jul 06, 2023: Making waves with terahertz technologies (Nanowerk News) Countless technologies – from smartphones and TVs to infrared instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope and high-speed ...

Santa Clara, CA and Kyoto, Japan, Jan. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROHM Semiconductor today announced they have started offering samples of the industry’s smallest[1] terahertz (THz) wave ...

Terahertz waves occupy a unique space in the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared light. This frequency range, which spans from 0.1 to 10 THz, has properties that make it ideal ...

The use of terahertz waves, which have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves, could enable faster data transmission, more precise medical imaging, and higher-resolution radar.

Terahertz waves can also reveal the chemical composition of substances, due to characteristic ‘fingerprint’ absorption patterns. Different colorless liquids—such as kerosene and acetone—that look ...
