Graphene and Quantum Dots put in motion a CMOS-integrated camera that can see the invisible

Over the past 40 years, microelectronics has advanced by leaps and bounds thanks to silicon and CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide semiconductors) technology, making possible computing, smartphones, compact and low-cost digital cameras, as well as most of the electronic gadgets we rely on today. However, the diversification of this platform into applications other than microcircuits and visible Read more about Graphene and Quantum Dots put in motion a CMOS-integrated camera that can see the invisible[…]

On-chip sensor capable of detecting unprecedentedly small frequency changes

Chip scale high precision measurements of physical quantities such as temperature, pressure and refractive index have become common with nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics resonance cavities. As excellent transducers to convert small variations in the local refractive index into measurable spectral shifts, resonance cavities are being used extensively in a variety of disciplines ranging from bio-sensing and Read more about On-chip sensor capable of detecting unprecedentedly small frequency changes[…]
