Terahertz biomedical science and technology /

This book focuses on biomedical applications of terahertz (THz) waves. THz waves offer advantages due to their low energy (greater safety), long wavelength (higher resolution), and sensitivity to water molecules. The book explores the use of THz spectroscopy in elucidating biological behaviors as we...
