Using graphene, one of science's most versatile materials, engineers have invented a new type of photodetector that can work with more types of light than its current state-of-the-art counterparts.

High-speed connections increasingly vital for data centers Tapered holes in silicon trap photons New technology could replace more expensive materials Tiny “black holes” on a silicon wafer make for a ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a new approach to quantum device design that has produced the first gain-based long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) photodetector using band structure ...

Tiny 'black holes' on a silicon wafer make for a new type of photodetector that could move more data at lower cost around the world or across a datacenter. Tiny "black holes" on a silicon wafer make ...
