A Revolutionary Breakthrough In Terahertz Remote Sensing: "A major breakthrough in remote wave sensing by a team of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers opens the way for detecting hidden explosives, chemical, biological agents and illegal drugs from a distance of 20 meters.
The new, all-optical system, using terahertz (THz) wave technology, has great potential for homeland security and military uses because it can 'see through' clothing and packaging materials and can identify immediately the unique THz 'fingerprints' of any hidden materials."
