Scientists have discovered a potentially promising infrared LED and infrared detector component. This compound -- composed of calcium, silicon and oxygen -- is cheap to produce and non-toxic. Many of ...

Jülich researchers, together with Italian and German colleagues, have developed a particularly cost-effective infrared detector that can be easily integrated into existing camera chips and smartphones ...

Cheaper, larger and better infrared detectors grown on silicon wafers could give more scientists access to infrared astronomy and further spur the hunt for exoplanets and the study of the universe’s ...
