New superconducting chip could enable breakthrough terahertz imaging
Published: 30 March 2026
A tiny crystal chip which uses terahertz radiation to see clearly through a wide range of materials could find applications in healthcare, biological research, and security screening. Researchers from UofG and Japan have developed the lightweight superconducting chip, which they say could unlock the full potential of terahertz imaging technologies and lead to the development of more powerful and portable devices.
