Imec and partners unveil SWIR sensor with lead-free quantum dot photodiodes

LEUVEN (Belgium), December 16, 2024— This week, at the 2024 IEEE
International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), imec, a world-leading
research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies,
and its partners in the Belgian project Q-COMIRSE, present a first of
its kind prototype shortwave infrared image sensor with indium arsenide
quantum dot photodiodes. The sensor demonstrated successful 1390 nm
imaging results, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to
first-generation quantum dots that contain lead, which limited their
widespread manufacturing. The proof-of-concept is a critical step toward
mass-market infrared imaging with low-cost and non-toxic photodiodes.

Chungnam National University Researchers Develop Power-Free Color-Changing Strain Sensor

Researchers have developed a novel mechanochromic strain sensor that operates without a power source, using color changes to indicate mechanical stress. Crafted from magnetic nanoparticles and elastic materials, it detects stretching, bending, or pressure through a reversible color shift, offering versatile applications in health monitoring, infrastructure safety, and displays.
Wearable devices and smart sensors are transforming how we monitor health and activity, from tracking heartbeats to detecting body movements. However, traditional tools like stethoscopes and fitness trackers often face challenges. They require user training, struggle with accurately capturing subtle signals, and are limited in flexibility … Read More → "Chungnam National University Researchers Develop Power-Free Color-Changing Strain Sensor"
