Sensor with 100,000 times higher sensitivity could bolster thermal imaging

Caption

Army-funded research develop a graphene bolometer sensor with 100,000x higher sensitivity than currently available commercial sensors. Detecting microwave radiation is key to thermal imaging, electronic warfare, radio communications and radar, but detection sensitivity limits the performance of these systems.
