If they can really make that happen cheaply (green shaded areas, meaning efficient collection of power from near IR photons) this is revolutionary.
Current silicon based tech (blue shaded) is useless for light energies below red.
- znpy 8y agoI am always fascinated by how people that don't waste their time with the latest data visualization trends can come up with slides so ugly according to latest trends yet so effective at exposing information.
- pfortuny 8y agoApart from the (ugly) colors, the plot looks like standard R/gnuplot/whatever tool existing since (I grow old, I grow old) the beginning of time...
- Iv 8y agoMy fascination is more at how dysfunctional "prettifiers" of graph manage to turn useful data into. That graph is perfect. Axis labeled, legend present, shit is legible and has pixel resolution. Way to go!
- colanderman 8y agoI'm surprised that the nanotube antennas seem to capture all frequencies equally. I would have expected resonances and nulls.
- neltnerb 8y agoI would imagine they rely on the nanotube lengths being non-uniform. Manufacturing variability as a feature!
