New graphene sensor holds promise of better low light images, lower cost

SweX · Jun 24, 2013

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, may be the key to extremely low light images and lower costs in all types of cameras. It makes up a new image sensor developed at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore that is said to be 1000 times more sensitive to light than traditional sensor technology.

The new sensor made from graphene is believed to be the first to be able to detect broad spectrum light, from the visible to mid-infrared, with high sensitivity, reported Science Daily. This means it is suitable for use in all types of cameras, including video, still, infrared, traffic speed devices and satellite imaging.

Graphene, the world’s hardest material, is a million times smaller than the thickest human hair and is made of pure carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure.
