Terahertz science

Terahertz science involves the study of electromagnetic waves in the terahertz frequency range, which is between microwaves and infrared light. This frequency range is valuable for imaging and spectroscopy, allowing scientists to explore materials and biological samples without damaging them. Terahertz waves can reveal details about molecular structures and chemical compositions, making them useful in applications like security screening, medical diagnostics, and telecommunications. Their ability to penetrate certain materials, while being less harmful than X-rays, opens new avenues for non-invasive analysis in various fields including materials science and biology.
