Carbon-Nanotube Coating Improves Thermal Detector
A very black carbon-nanotube coating, combined with an innovative fabrication process, makes a new infrared detector with nearly ideal performance over a wide range of wavelengths.
Colorized micrograph of ultra-dark material—a sparse "forest" of fine carbon nanotubes—coating a NIST laser power detector. Image shows a region approximately 25 µm across.
