T-ray breakthrough could make detecting disease far easier
A breakthrough in the harnessing of 'T-rays'-electromagnetic terahertz waves-which could dramatically improve the detecting and sensing of objects as varied as biological cell abnormalities and explosives has been announced. view more (2006-11-03)
Water is 'designer fluid' that helps proteins change shape, scientists say
Ubiquitous on Earth, water also has been found in comets, on Mars and in molecular clouds in interstellar space. Now, scientists say this common fluid is not as well understood as we thought. view more (2008-08-07)
Delft nano-detector very promising for remote cosmic realms
A miniscule but super-sensitive sensor can help solve the mysteries of outer space. Cosmic radiation, which contains the terahertz frequencies that the sensors detect, offers astronomers important new information about the birth of star systems and planets. view more (2007-01-18)
Rice's single-pixel camera takes high-res images
For all their ease and convenience, there are few things more wasteful than digital cameras. They're loaded with pricy microprocessors that chew through batteries at a breakneck pace, crunching millions of numbers per second in order to throw out up to 99 percent of the information flowing through the lens. view more (2006-10-03)

Engineers demonstrate first room-temperature semiconductor source of coherent Terahertz radiation
Engineers and applied physicists from Harvard University have demonstrated the first room-temperature electrically-pumped semiconductor source of coherent Terahertz (THz) radiation, also known as T-rays. The breakthrough in laser technology, based upon commercially available nanotechnology, has the potential to become a standard Terahertz source... view more... (2008-05-19)
New lens device will shrink huge light waves to pinpoints
Manipulating light waves, or electromagnetic radiation, has led to many technologies, from cameras to lasers to medical imaging machines that can see inside the human body. view more (2007-07-13)
Making waves in cancer detection
We`re all familiar with X-rays being used to look inside our bodies. But according to physicists, medical imaging in the future is likely to be based on an as yet unused type of radiation known as terahertz radiation. view more (2002-07-23)
Researchers bridge the 'terahertz gap' with new tunable metamaterial
A frequency-agile metamaterial that for the first time can be tuned over a range of frequencies in the so-called "terahertz gap" has been engineered by a team of researchers from Boston College, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Boston University. view more (2008-04-16)
Ready to go: mobile terahertz devices
Terahertz waves, which until now have barely found their way out of the laboratory, could soon be in use as a versatile tool. Researchers have mobilized the transmitting and receiving devices so that they can be used anywhere with ease. view more (2008-04-09)
Helia Wraps-up Optical Coatings
A new Scottish multi-million pound photonics company is geared up for the future of telecommunications after securing a seven figure private investment deal. The investment has allowed Helia Photonics Ltd, a Heriot-Watt University spin-out to purchase the coatings division of Terahertz Photonics in a technology transfer deal, and say they are... view more...
