Biological applications of terahertz technology

该项目旨在开发新的知识，探索太赫兹（THz）辐射与不同材料的相互作用。太赫兹技术被用于从安全检查到生物医学成像的各种应用。广泛采用该技术的一个障碍是对太赫兹辐射与分子，蛋白质，细胞和组织之间的基本相互作用的理解不足。该项目将使先进的太赫兹技术和应用的发展，并将导致加速实施用于化学，生物学，并最终，医疗应用，如癌症检测。

This project aims to develop new knowledge for exploring the interaction of terahertz (THz) radiation with different materials. THz technology is in use in diverse applications from security screening to biomedical imaging. A hurdle to the widespread adoption of the technology is the poor understanding of the basic interaction between THz radiation and molecules, proteins, cells and tissues. This project will enable development of advanced THz technology and applications and will lead to accelerated implementation for use in chemistry, biology and, ultimately, medicalapplications such as cancer detection.
