A new paper-thin sensor can detect an entire light spectrum in picoseconds
Engineers have developed a revolutionary paper-thin sensor capable of capturing the entire light spectrum with incredible speed, processing images in mere picoseconds to transform how machines perceive the world.
Researchers at Aalto University created this ultra-thin sensor using van der Waals materials, allowing it to detect everything from deep ultraviolet to long-wave infrared light. Unlike traditional cameras that require bulky filters and complex hardware, this single-pixel device identifies light frequencies almost instantaneously.
