The instrument could bring powerful sensing and imaging capabilities out of the lab and into hospitals, airports, or other settings.

The background is a big cryo-cooler. On the left, you can see the tiny terahertz QCL. |
Researchers at MIT and the University of Waterloo have developed a high-power, portable version of a device called a quantum cascade laser, which can generate terahertz radiation outside of a laboratory setting. The laser could potentially be used in applications such as pinpointing skin cancer and detecting hidden explosives.
