NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) utilizes mid-infrared spectroscopy to precisely analyze molecular components such as water vapor and sulfur dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres. The key to this ...

Using graphene, one of science's most versatile materials, engineers have invented a new type of photodetector that can work with more types of light than its current state-of-the-art counterparts.

Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a new approach to quantum device design that has produced the first gain-based long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) photodetector using band structure ...

The junction composed of traditional metals and 2D semiconductors is a key component of semiconductor devices. Ideally, Schottky barrier height (SBH) can be obtained based on the relative alignment of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — In today's increasingly powerful electronics, tiny materials are a must as manufacturers seek to increase performance without adding bulk. Smaller also is better for optoelectronic ...

Researchers have developed a new type of high-efficiency photodetector inspired by the photosynthetic complexes plants use to turn sunlight into energy. Photodetectors are used in cameras, optical ...

(Nanowerk News) Extremely thin, more stable than steel and widely applicable: the material graphene is full of interesting properties. As such, it is currently the shining star among the electric ...

Heilbronn, Germany — Atmel unveiled the ATR0874; a photodetector IC (PDIC) for use in the optical pick-up units (OPUs) of DVD and CD drives and is suitable for the slim drives found in most laptops.
