Miniaturized infrared detectors

Extreme miniaturization of infrared (IR) detectors is critical for their integration into next-generation consumer electronics, wearables and ultra-small satellites. Thus far, however, IR detectors have relied on bulky (and expensive) materials and technologies. A team of scientists has now succeeded in developing a cost-effective miniaturization process for IR spectrometers based on a quantum dot photodetector, which can be integrated on a single chip.

Robotic touch sensors are not just skin deep

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself.
