Chip-level future: an artist’s impression of how microscopic bolometers (in the chip on the right) could sense very weak radiation emitted from qubits (in the chip on the left). (Courtesy: Aleksandr ...

(Nanowerk News) Bolometers are devices that measure the power of incident electromagnetic radiation thru the heating of materials, which exhibit a temperature-electric resistance dependence. These ...

Hot stuff: schematic of the bolometer showing the graphene sheet in blue. (Courtesy: MIT) A new graphene-based bolometer has been created by Dmitri Efetov and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute ...

Scientists have hailed a new quantum computing breakthrough that could bring the revolutionary technology into the real world. The discovery could fundamentally change how quantum computers are able ...

Devices such as digital cameras electronically measure levels of high-energy light, and that's good enough for most of us. Now, however, scientists have developed a mechanical alternative that works ...

The findings, published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology ("Fast thermal relaxation in cavity-coupled graphene bolometers with a Johnson noise read-out"), could help pave the way toward new kinds ...

Better detection of microwave radiation will improve thermal imaging, electronic warfare, radio communications. Army-funded research developed a microwave radiation sensor with 100,000 times higher ...
