Microscopic gold filters could advance satellite and 6G technologies

Ultrathin terahertz filters developed from an accidental spin-off may expand capabilities in satellites, medical scanners and future 6G networks.

The filters are described as microscopic and made of gold. They originate from an accidental spin-off project and are positioned as ultrathin terahertz devices.
