MIT engineers develop a low-cost terahertz camera

A new kind of camera can detect terahertz pulses rapidly, with high sensitivity, and at room temperature and pressure. Terahertz radiation can penetrate many nonmetallic materials and detect signatures of certain molecules, qualities that could lead to an array of applications, including airport security scanning, industrial quality control, astrophysical observations, and more.
