Abstract
Anyone hoping to exploit this promising region of the electromagnetic spectrum must confront its very daunting physics. Wirelessly transfer huge files in the blink of an eye! Detect bombs, poison gas clouds, and concealed weapons from afar! Peer through walls with T-ray vision! You can do it all with terahertz technology-or so you might believe after perusing popular accounts of the subject.
