Berkeley, Calif. – Cheap and disposable sensors for use almost anywhere could be within reach, thanks to researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who combined nanowire photosensors and electronics on a single chip to build an image sensing array. The large surface area and the exacting composition of nanowires make them many times more sensitive to their environment than bulk material counterparts. However, the small signals generated by nanowire sensors must be amplified with electronics. The best results would come from...Read full article
