Abstract
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy can detect molecular interactions in compounds formed by hydrogen bonds and hydration reactions. Although improvements are required in many respects, we are seeing encouraging progress in quantitative analyses based on THz spectra, and promising directions in the application of THz imaging to pharmaceuticals, the life sciences, and medical diagnostics.
