Terahertz Microscope Directly Observes Microscopic Quantum Vibrations

MIT research team develops a new type of terahertz microscope that breaks through the diffraction limit of terahertz light, focusing terahertz waves to microscopic scales for the first time to directly observe microscopic quantum vibrations in superconducting materials. This breakthrough allows scientists to observe electronic behaviors hidden for decades, providing new tools for studying high-temperature superconductivity mechanisms and future terahertz communication devices.
