Metasurfaces featuring tailored silver nanocubes could allow thermal photodetectors to approach speeds akin to traditional ...

A new ultrathin photodetector from Duke University can sense light across the entire electromagnetic spectrum and generate a ...

MIT engineers have developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin “skins” of electronic material. The method could pave the way for new classes of electronic devices, such as ultrathin wearable ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For decades, researchers have sought to understand and harness the pyroelectric effect in biological materials. Pyroelectricity refers to the phenomenon where heating or cooling a ...

Electrical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a pyroelectric photodetector operating at speeds far beyond those typically associated with thermal ...

Pyroelectric materials are able to convert any incident radiation into a signal, allowing them to sense wavelengths from UV through to THz. DLaTGS in particular is very sensitive, meaning a higher ...

Electrical engineers at Duke University have created the fastest pyroelectric photodetector ever demonstrated, a device that detects light by sensing ...

Engineers developed ultrathin electronic films that sense heat and other signals, and could reduce the bulk of conventional goggles and scopes. (Nanowerk News) MIT engineers have developed a technique ...
