Nano-scale terahertz antenna created, hand-held tricorders incoming

Just a couple of months ago we wrote about a new, minuscule terahertz antenna that promised to change the world of medical and security imaging, and super-high-speed wireless transmissions. That antenna, made by Japanese semiconductor company Rohm, was a few millimeters long — an order of magnitude smaller than existing terahertz systems. Today, researchers from Imperial College London and A*STAR in Singapore have shown off a terahertz antenna that’s just 100 nanometers across — about 30,000 times smaller than Rohm’s antenna.
