Scientists fine-tune carbon nanotubes for flexible, fingertip-wearable terahertz imagers

According to the researchers these findings expand the scope of THz applications to include wrap-around, wearable technologies, as well as large-area photonic devices.

CNTs use in THz technologies have taken a big step forward, the researchers say. Increasingly, THz imagers are emerging as a safe and viable alternative to conventional imaging systems across a wide range of applications such as airport security and medical sensors.
