Biomass can be converted into valuable gases. But in order to control this process, the amount of water vapor has to be measured. This is notoriously hard, because other components of the gas can ...

Researchers used terahertz spectroscopy and imaging to gain new insights into how agave plants are so remarkably adept at retaining water in extremely dry environments.

Researchers have now demonstrated this effect using single-cycle terahertz pulses — instead of optical pulses — in a variety of liquids. In a laser system, the Kerr effect can be used to ...

Agave plants may be best known for their role in ... In a new study, researchers used terahertz spectroscopy and imaging ...
