Your Digital Camera Is Obsolete: Japanese Image Sensor 100x More Sensitive Than Current Chips
“Japan’s Research Center for Photovoltaics has developed a CIGS image sensor that’s 100 times more light-sensitive than the silicon chip inside your cam. It’s able to shoot in environments as dark as 0.001 lux, or about as dark as a “moonless clear night.” Obviously, it’ll be great for night vision gear, but it also picks up infrared, giving this some serious Sam Fisher applications.”
