Black Silicon CMOS Sensors 100 Times More Sensitive

[xyster]

The accidental discovery of black silicon several years ago is paving the way for new imaging sensors that are 100 times more sensitive to visible light than conventional silicon based detectors

Good read. I'm glad I put off buying a really good camera for now. Sounds like in a few years things are going to take a good step forward.

Darn, my month old D90 is already outdated.

The new Macbooks are outdated!!!

I certainly hope this one doesn't get bought up and shelved like the Holographic removable Data discs. We could have had 400Gigs in our machine like a floppy disc with read and write speeds faster than hard disks. I guess it threatened the current technologies.

So, in this case, I hope it isn't too good, or we may never see it in our lifetime.

I think it will be cool to be able to have respectable quality sensors built into future cell phones, even a 5 or 7mp on a phone would be awesome, no more of this 1.1mpx crap please 😀

to think it's been discovered 10 years ago, and only now slowly gets into the market...

I'd like to see black silicon sensors that are the same size and resolution as the usual ones, resulting in a better capturing of dark images.
