Just imagine the low light performance of your camera when your current sensor become 1000 times more sensitive to light, Scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have announced the development of a sensor made of graphene (made up of pure carbon substance) that is 1,000 times more sensitive to light and consumes 10 times less power compared to traditional CMOS or CCD sensors,
Graphene sensor will initially used in surveillance cameras and in satellites before implementing to DSLRs and point-and-shoot, according to the researchers at NTU, once the sensor reaches mass production, it will be up to five times cheaper than CMOS or CCD sensors.
The newly developed Graphene sensor is definitely a huge technological breakthrough that will revolutionize the photographic industry.
