ZnO Nanowires Create Ultrasensitive UV Smoke Detector
SURREY, England, Feb. 17, 2015 — A new low-temperature nanowire growth process can create ultrasensitive UV sensors for fire detection directly on a microchip. A ZnO nanowire detector created through a seedless hydrothermal technique is 10,000 times more sensitive to UV radiation than traditional ZnO detectors, according to researchers at the University of Surrey. This sensitivity could allow the detector to pick up tiny smoke particles emitted at the early stages of fires. Today’s photoelectric smoke
