How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA -
Friday, October 30, 2009.
A new model of the way the THz waves interact with DNA explains how the damage is done and why evidence has been so hard to gather.
Terahertz waves pass through non-conducting materials such as clothes , paper, wood and brick and so cameras sensitive to them can peer inside envelopes, into living rooms and "frisk" people at distance.
