A team of researchers from Peking University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Duke University is harnessing the remarkable properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to create highly sensitive, "uncooled" photovoltaic infrared detectors. This new type of detector, may prove useful for industrial, military, manufacturing, optical communications, and scientific applications. Carbon nanotubes are known for their outstanding mechanical, electrical, and optical...
