Between the microwave and infrared regions, where electromagnetic waves oscillate at a frequency of 1012 hertz (terahertz), we have a noticeable blind spot. An almost limitless array of interesting phenomena occur at terahertz frequencies: Excited electrons orbit, small molecules rotate, proteins vibrate, superconducting energy gaps resonate, and gaseous and solid-state plasmas oscillate. The list goes on.
