The global energy landscape is undergoing a seismic transformation. Rising demand, the urgency of decarbonization, and the declining availability of fossil fuels have made renewable energy not only desirable but essential. Solar power, in particular, has become the frontrunner, with photovoltaics (PV) now ranking as the cheapest source of electricity …

For decades, dominance over the electromagnetic spectrum has defined superiority in defense and security. Microwave radars have enabled long-range detection, while infrared sensors have tracked heat signatures. Yet, between these two lies a little-explored region of the spectrum—the terahertz (THz) band. Occupying the frequencies between 0.3 and 3 THz, this …

From Observation to Understanding For decades, surveillance cameras have acted as silent witnesses, capturing vast amounts of video but without any real comprehension of what unfolded before them. They could register shapes, movement, and light, yet the meaning behind those patterns—intent, context, or risk—remained invisible. Human operators were left to …
