The acquisition of a state-of-the-art terahertz imaging system will enable University of Arkansas researchers to further their investigation of an alternative method of detecting and treating breast cancer. The unique system, made possible by a $400,000 grant from the National Science Foundation and $171,428 in matching funds from the university, will deepen scientists' understanding and use of terahertz radiation and imaging techniques as they apply to a variety of applications.
