"If we credit the integrated circuit with one thing, it should be the taming of the electromagnetic spectrum. But the integrated circuit hasn't conquered every bit of the spectrum and one region, a range that extends from the highest frequency radio waves to the lowest frequency infrared light. Over the decades, engineers have made many attempts to create compact, solid-state devices that can harness it, but terahertz radiation has proven particularly tricky to use".
