New Ventures BC 2008 Finalist TeraTek is developing new imaging technology that uses Terahertz (THz) frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum to see through non-conductive forestry materials. The technology creates better-than-x-ray imaging for various characteristics such as density, moisture content and strength. The Prince George-based company plans to initially use its imaging system and software in lumber mills to analyze fiber structures and characteristics that can’t be seen using x-rays or microwaves.

Be sure to check out their recent interview on CKPG television in Prince George.
