Abstract
We present a brief overview of the literature on biological applications and 9 experimental data on the effects of THz radiation. The region of the electromagnetic 10 spectrum from 0.1 to 10 THz is a frontier area for research in physics, chemistry, biology, 11 materials science and medicine. This area has recently begun to be filled by a variety of 12 sources of high quality radiation with a wide range of new technologies related to it. New 13 sources have led to new science in many areas, as scientists begin to become aware of the 14 opportunities for research progress in their fields using THz radiation. Therefore the 15 opportunities for THz science in chemistry and biology are wide ranging. Some of them 16 will extend the range of already established work, many others have not yet been realized 17 but show great promise, and the rest fall somewhere in betweenI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
