"Aerogel: Revolutionizing Future Terahertz Technologies"

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a breakthrough in terahertz wave technology by demonstrating that the transmission of terahertz light can be adjusted when passed through an aerogel composed of cellulose and a conducting polymer. This advancement holds promise for applications in medical imaging and communication, as terahertz waves can pass through non-conductive materials without damaging tissue. The aerogel, which is both water-repellent and can be naturally defrosted via sunlight, offers a large modulation range for regulating the transmission of terahertz waves.

Wooden Transistor: A Groundbreaking Invention

Researchers from the Wallenberg Wood Science Center have created the world's first wooden transistor, which is 3 centimeters across and switches at less than one Hertz. The transistor holds promise for specialized applications including biodegradable computing and implanting into living plant material. The researchers leveraged the structural stability and porosity of balsa wood to create conducting channels inside the wood's pores and electrochemically modulate their conductivity with the help of a penetrating electrolyte and a conducting polymer.
