Development of observation technology
Plants, which grow through exposure to sunlight, have the ability to efficiently convert particles of light into electrons. By using this function as a component and fine laboratory-developed molecular wires as connections, an artificial eye harnessing the power of living organisms has been created. The hybrid sensor formed from this combination of organic and artificial materials can detect even extremely minute amounts of light, enabling light to be utilized to the utmost limits.
