T-ray

Researchers at the University of Michigan have found a way to accurately detect electromagnetic waves in the terahertz range by first converting them into sound. The advance opens up new applications ranging from tighter airport security to safer medical imaging.

Scientists have come up with a way to 3D print a unique tag, called an InfraStruct, inside an object as it's being 3D printed, and it's made possible by the slowly emerging field of terahertz imaging.

Scientists have created a tiny, inexpensive microchip that could make T-Ray technology much more viable.

"X-ray" vision may soon be possible on cell phones by tapping into the terahertz band of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Scientists have developed a new way of creating stronger more efficient Terahertz (THz) or T-rays, which they say could help make handheld devices with tricorder-like capabilities a reality.

A process for changing the color of metal also results in the metal being able to detect the notoriously difficult to detect terahertz waves, or T-rays, which have potential applications in medical and scientific imaging and security scanning.
