Chip-based system for terahertz waves could enable more efficient, sensitive electronics

Boston MA (SPX) Mar 06, 2025

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. But effectively generating terahertz waves using a semiconductor chip, which is essential for incorporation into electronic devices, is notoriously difficult. Many current techniques can't
