Abstract
In remote sensing of the atmosphere — from space and from the ground — in the development of Tokamak fusion reactors for 21st Century energy production and in probing the heavens, terahertz technology can contribute to some of the ‘Grand Challenges’ facing mankind at the end of the 20th Century.
