Imagine stick-on cameras that can see inside tubing or monitor structures like bridges for weak points and needed repairs. That is the vision of some researchers for terahertz (THz) imaging, which could potentially transform nondestructive inspection and quality control in factories and other industrial settings.
Now, researchers in Japan have moved a step closer to that vision. They have demonstrated an adjustable process using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to create a flexible film sensor array that can be applied to a THz video-camera patch sheet (Adv. Func. Mater. doi: 10.1002/adfm.202008931).
