Nanotechnology Could be used in Future Image Sensors.
A team of researchers from the University of Glasgow from Scotland, are currently developing small nano-structures that would be used on image sensors. The research is funded by half a million pounds from the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council. This new sensor will enable cameras to capture sharper and more colorful images.
Professor David Cumming of Glasgow University who is leading the research team claims that “We’ll be using nanotechnology to manipulate particles, so as to take advantage of the properties of electrons to create a new optical effect.” He also added “Digital imaging has come a long way in recent years and this project aims to further improve the ability of digital devices to produce high-quality pictures”
The project is expected to last until the middle of 2012.
