Terahertz technology represents a frontier in electromagnetic research and applications. Bridging the gap between microwaves and infrared, THz waves offer unique capabilities that are driving innovation across a wide range of fields, from medical imaging to wireless communications. The past few decades have seen remarkable progress in THz generation, detection, and manipulation techniques. Compact THz sources have become more powerful and efficient, while detectors have grown more sensitive. Novel materials and structures, such as metamaterials and quantum cascade lasers, have opened up new possibilities for controlling and utilizing THz waves. THz systems and applications are nowadays being employed in various commercial applications, such as biomedical imaging, sensing, spectroscopy, and beyond 5G wireless communication. Applications of THz technology are rapidly expanding. In security and defense, THz systems are providing new tools for non-invasive screening and chemical detection. In medicine, THz imaging is showing promise for early cancer detection and dental diagnostics. Industrial quality control is benefiting from the non-destructive testing capabilities of THz waves, while the potential for ultra-high-bandwidth wireless communications is driving research into THz data links. THz technology plays a key role in 6G and beyond. However, in order for THz technology to be scalable and be able to compete with other technologies, numerous challenges must still be addressed.
