Scientists develop ‘tricorder’ Star Trek technology
Scientists have developed a new way to create electromagnetic Terahertz (THz) waves - the technology used behind full-body security scanners, at a more efficient and continuous wavelength. Also known as T-waves, the new waves could be used to create medical scanning gadgets and possibly lead to innovations similar to the fictional ‘tricorder’ used in the TV series Star Trek.
