Terahertz
What is Terahertz?
Terahertz is an artificial, man-made material designed for scientific purposes: it interacts with terahertz frequencies. This so-called "metamaterial" is produced by extracting silica from either sand or quartz. Despite being made for scientific research, the material is often used for jewelry or manual massage tools.
