An international research team, led by the National University of Singapore (NUS), has shown that when graphene is exposed to electromagnetic radiation of terahertz frequencies, electron fluid heats up and its viscosity is drastically reduced, resulting in lower electrical resistance – similarly to how oil, honey and other viscous fluids flow more easily as they are heated on a stove.
Terahertz (THz) waves are a special and technologically challenging part of the electromagnetic spectrum – situated between microwaves and infrared light – that have a vast range of potential applications. Being able to detect THz waves could unlock major advances in technologies.
