Summary:
- Researchers have developed a new type of solar-blind photodetector using diamond nanowires. This means the device can detect ultraviolet light without being affected by visible or infrared light.
- The diamond nanowires have a unique structure that allows them to efficiently absorb and convert ultraviolet light into electrical signals, making them highly sensitive and selective.
- This breakthrough in solar-blind technology has potential applications in areas like environmental monitoring, security, and medical diagnostics, where detecting ultraviolet light is important but visible light can interfere with the measurements.
