A laser reflecting off glass looks like it follows the mirror rule—angle in equals angle out. But with sensitive tools, the spot shifts slightly, no bigger than a strand of hair. This elusive effect, called the Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift, was recently explored by scientists from the UP Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) in materials that barely absorb light—such as those used in semiconductors and photonics.

Nakabuo ng bagong semiconductor structure ang mga syentista ng UP Diliman College of Science na pwedeng magbigay-daan sa mas abot-kaya at mas reliable na Terahertz (THz) technology. Isa sa mga layunin ng THz research ay palawakin ang paggamit ng THz-Time Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Nalutas ng imbensyong ito ang pangunahing hadlang na teknikal at ekonomikal sa paggamit ng THz technology, na maaring magamit sa mga aplikasyon tulad ng medical imaging at high-speed wireless communication.
