terahertz

Teams at Imperial College London, University of Michigan, and Tufts University transformed natural silk threads into plastic-like materials that outperform metal alloys, resist punctures like carbon-fiber composites, and polarize terahertz light for potential 6G telecommunications use.

MIT physicists built the first terahertz near-field microscope and used it to directly image quantum oscillations of superconducting electrons in BSCCO, a result published in Nature.
