What changed from existing technology?
This study develops a new type of light sensor made from a single polymer material that can change how it responds to light depending on the voltage applied. The sensor works better than previous ones and could be useful for wearable devices.
This study introduces a single-component photodetector with bias-tunable spectral response, which is a new approach compared to traditional double-component structures that are prone to degradation over time.
