A method and a system are provided for collecting volatile organic compounds and applying THz based detection of a signature of the collected compounds to determine egg properties. Egg properties include gender and/or fertility.

System and method for non-invasively determining egg properties

Optical switch and modulator devices are described, usable for Terahertz data communication rates. The device comprising an optically transmissive substrate configured for propagating electromagnetic radiation therethrough and a metamaterial arrangement optically coupled to said substrate. The metamaterial arrangement comprises at least one layer of metamaterial particles optically coupled to at least some portion of said optically transmissive substrate, and at least one nanomesh layer made of at least one electrically conducting material placed over at least some portion of the at least one metamaterial layer. The at least one nanomesh layer configured to discharge electrons into the at least one metamaterial layer responsive to electromagnetic or electric signals applied to the metamaterial arrangement, and the at least one metamaterial layer configured to change from an optically opaque state into an optically transparent state upon receiving the discharged electrons, to thereby at least partially alter electromagnetic radiation passing through the substrate.

High frequency optical switch and fabrication methods thereof

A high throughput method for label-free, noncontact, noninvasive, and nondestructive detection of at least one virus infected or virus free individual from at least one tested individual is provided. The method includes collecting a sample from exhaled breath of a subject for analysis of the sample. The collecting includes the subject exhaling into at least one sampler and collecting aerosols and/or any airborne compound from the exhaled breath by passing the exhaled breath through a metamaterial membrane within the sampler. The metamaterial membrane is arranged transverse to a flow of exhaled breath through the sampler. The method further includes analyzing the sample for detection of at least one virus infected individual from at least one tested individual.
