New terahertz device could strengthen security

Researchers created a compact terahertz radiation source that operates at room temperature We are all familiar with the hassles that accompany air travel. We shuffle through long lines, remove our shoes, and carry liquids in regulation-sized tubes. And even after all the effort, we still wonder if these procedures are making us any safer. Now
