Description

Zhi Zhu and co-workers review terahertz science for biology and chemistry in a 2025 paper. Terahertz waves sit between microwaves and infrared light, and they interact with the motion of molecules. That makes them a tool for probing water, proteins, DNA, and ion channels.

The review explains the basic physics of these interactions and their effects at molecular, cell, and nerve scales. It then covers uses in diagnosis, neurobiology, and possible treatments, plus control of water transport. Methods for detection, imaging, and sensing are also surveyed. The authors aim to spur more work at this meeting point of fields.
