Biomimetic photodetector 'sees' in color

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 08:50 AM PDT

A CMOS-compatible, biomimetic color photodetector has been developed that directly responds to red, green and blue light in much the same way the human eye does. It uses an aluminum grating that can be added to silicon photodetectors with the silicon microchip industry's mainstay technology, "complementary metal-oxide semiconductor," or CMOS.

Creation of a highly efficient technique to develop low-friction materials

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 05:48 AM PDT

Scientists have created an unprecedented highly efficient method for developing friction materials with a desired frictional property. The completely new technique enables highly efficient materials development that only requires one trial experiment, eliminating the need to conduct related experiments multiple times.

C2D2 fighting corrosion
