TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dielectric responses below 1.0 THz best characterize the particular water dynamics of cancer cells when compared with extracellular water, and could lead to a new procedure to digitally evaluate cellular activities or functions, in terms of intracellular water dynamics, and remove the veil from the mysterious intrACEllular milieu.

TL;DR: THz time-domain attenuated total reflection (THz TD-ATR) spectroscopy allowed to determine the complex refractive index of saccharide solutions and to experimentally characterize the global hydration state, indicating the global Hydration state is closely related to the number of hydrophilic groups and steric configuration of hydroxyl groups in saccharid molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the complex dielectric constant of a cell monolayer using terahertz time-domain attenuated total reflection spectroscopy combined with a two-interface model was determined.

TL;DR: The novel approach with terahertz wave nondestructively detect film surface density (FSD) and interface density differences (IDDs) between the film-coated layer and an uncoated tablet found that a reduced FSD and IDD increased the risk of crack initiation in theFilm coating process parameters during scale-up and scale-down studies can be appropriately established.

TL;DR: Spectroscopy analysis of liquid water confined in mesoporous silica materials of two different pore sizes at room temperatures finds that stronger confinement with a smaller pore size causes reduced THz absorption, indicating reduced water mobility due to confinement.
