| Nanoantennas Improve Infrared Sensing | |||
A team led by Ertugrul Cubukcu, assistant professor of Materials Science and Engineering, has used a pattern of nanoantennas to develop a new way of turning infrared light into mechanical action, opening the door to more sensitive infrared cameras and more compact chemical-analysis techniques. The advantage to this approach is that it could reduce the footprint of an infrared sensing device to something that would fit on a disposable silicon chip. | |||
