Silk threads can be fused into transparent, plastic-like materials that twist terahertz frequencies of light, according to ...

Physicists at Bielefeld University and the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden) have developed a method to control atomically thin semiconductors using ...

High-frequency terahertz waves have great potential for a number of applications including next-generation medical imaging and communication. Researchers have shown that the transmission of terahertz ...

Cambridge, Mass. -- You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light you shine at it: Optical light illuminates a material’s surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and ...

Light can tell you a lot about what matter is doing. Visible light shows a surface. X-rays reveal hidden structure. Infrared picks up heat. Now researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

An international team of researchers, including scientists from HZDR and Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, for ...

Researchers have developed a novel method to fabricate high-performance terahertz devices directly on chips. The technique combines multi-photon 3D-printing with selective metal coating to create ...

Simpler, substrateless design draws on effective medium theory to deliver a waveguide that’s less prone to misalignment with ...

A study demonstrates that graphene-based materials can be used to efficiently convert high-frequency signals into visible light, and that this mechanism is ultrafast and tunable. These outcomes open ...

Researchers used a nonlinear metasurface to experimentally demonstrate skyrmions that can be switched between electric and magnetic modes in free-space toroidal terahertz light pulses. WASHINGTON — ...

A single topological insulator photodetector covers visible through terahertz light at room temperature, combining two ...

For the first time, the new scope allowed physicists to observe terahertz 'jiggles' in a superconducting fluid. (Nanowerk News) You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light you shine ...
