By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

Terahertz quantum cascade laser (QCL) sources represent a significant breakthrough in the generation of coherent terahertz radiation from compact, electrically pumped semiconductor devices. By ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

Already the first crude images from terahertz image chips have proven that Superman-style “X-ray vision” may soon be commonplace. Last year the European Space Agency's StarTiger R&D team showed a ...

6G is not just the evolution of 5G. Every generation of cellular technology is transformational. 4G gave life to the mobile Internet while 5G expands cellular communications beyond smartphones. 6G ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

This novel terahertz microscope from MIT enables the observation of superconducting electron dynamics, crucial for future ...

A tunable FEL generates narrowband terahertz radiation, which is focused onto the s-SNOM tip and is backscattered into a photoconducting detector. Inset: terahertz light scatters off the edge of a ...

In a new study, researchers demonstrated long-term, non-invasive monitoring of blood sodium levels using a system that combines optoacoustic detection with terahertz spectroscopy. Accurate measurement ...

There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...
