What if ultrafast pulses of light could operate computers at speeds a million times faster than today's best processors? A team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Arizona, are ...

A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers in Taiwan say they have created a new chlorophyll-coated graphene phototransistor that is much more sensitive to light than devices made of pure graphene. The researchers believe that the ...

Researchers demonstrated a way to manipulate electrons in graphene using pulses of light that last less than one thousands trillionth (one quadrillionth) of a second. By leveraging a quantum effect ...

Organic phototransistors and photodetectors are optoelectronic devices that convert incident light into electrical signals by leveraging the tunable electronic properties of conjugated polymers and ...

A digital camera has an array of sensors that captures light reflected or transmitted onto it. This build is something closer to a reverse camera – a single sensor that makes images on a matrix of ...

This applications note presents some basic facts about phototransistors including its different architectures commonly used in the industry. It discusses its operation and how things work inside these ...

In 1948, Dr John Northrup Shive was developing transistor-like devices when he tried to use a beam of light instead of a wire as the emitter of a point contact transistor, which generated holes that ...

No one likes a flickering light source, but lighting is often dependent on the quality of a building’s main AC power. Light intensity has a close relation to the supply voltage, but bulb type plays a ...
