The field of imaging applications could witness a significant advancement following the demonstration of a pathway to multi-energy X-ray detection with increased flexibility and sensitivity by researchers at Exciton Science(Melbourne,VIC,Australia;www.excitonscience.com).

Developed by a team at Monash University(Melbourne,VIC,Australia;www.monash.edu), the technology is based on solution-processed,printable diodes made utilizing perovskite thin films,a component generally associated with next-generation solar energy devices.

The latest research has shown that a wide range of energies,from 0.1 KeV to the 10s of KeV, surpassing the capabilities of traditional multi-energy X-ray detectors.

This breakthrough technology has the potential to revolutionize the field of imaging applications.
