postheadericon MIT researchers suggest graphene could be used to build a better camera sensor

As you may have noticed that the pace of research in recent years, graphene is a promise to do better. Now, apparently, you can add sensors to the camera to the list. A team of MIT researchers have recently discovered that graphene can be used as a photodetector in a "very large energy range," and that works particularly well in the infrared, where other types of detectors are often below. That, the researchers say, could open the door for everything from night vision systems better than most detectors advanced astronomical telescopes - not to mention cheaper camera sensors, in general, and that graphene is good market work. In addition, researchers also suggest that the same light detectors skills could make graphene a suitable material for the collection of solar energy, although they note that research is still needed to determine if other is really an effective way to generate energy.
