The Tiny Wire That Sees Invisible Light
We built a new type of photodetector from tin-doped gallium oxide microwires—thinner than a human hair—that can spot invisible radiation like UVC light and X-rays without using a battery. These devices work like tiny solar cells: they generate current when exposed to radiation, achieving up to 713 A/W responsivity with bias and still 2 A/W […]
