Graphite or new sensor material

According to the latest report, U.S. scientists found that they have photosensitivity on a single-atom carbon material called graphene, which generates current when exposed to light. It may have imaging characteristics that can be applied to imaging products as a new sensor material. Because it generates electricity in a different way from other light-sensitive materials, it can perceive a wider light range.

Among them, a scientist named Jarillo-Herrero commented that such components would perform better in infrared shooting because it is difficult for other materials to do. Therefore, graphene materials may become an important component of the future including night-vision devices and astronomical telescopes. Let us wait and see.
