New Sensor To Be A Boon To Astronomers
Submitted by nestorb on Thu, 2007-01-25 07:43. The detector, called a 'hot electron bolometer', is comprised of a small piece of superconducting niobiumnitride. A miniscule gold antenna catches the terahertz-radiation and sends it via the contacts to the small piece of niobiumnitride, which functions as an extremely sensitive thermometer...
