Scientists at MIT have developed a chip-based system for efficiently producing terahertz waves.
The breakthrough eliminates the need for bulky silicon lenses and enables more powerful and compact electronic devices.
The system uses a thin, adjusted material to balance the dielectric constant, allowing terahertz waves to pass through more effectively.
The chip, designed with advanced Intel transistors, outperforms existing methods and can have applications in security scanners, environmental sensors, and wireless networks.
