MXene into a log-periodic design, specifically for advancing terahertz (THz) detection. The incoporation of MXene material enhances THz detection, merging the high electrical conductivity and exceptional absorption properties of MXene with the broad frequency response of the log-periodic design. The outcome is a compact and high-performance antenna with improved absorption, bandwidth and directionality, setting a new benchmark for THz applications. This innovative design paves the way for miniaturization without compromising the antenna's effectiveness, ideal for THz imaging and non-destructive testing. Our investigation articulates the harmonious convergence of materials science innovation with sophisticated antenna design, redefining the potential of THz detection systems.
