Article Synopsis
- Photodetectors are essential in various fields like remote sensing and medical imaging, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show potential for high performance due to their unique properties.
- Previous CNT-based photodetectors underperformed due to issues like short lengths and structural defects, which hindered their capabilities.
- Recent developments using high-density suspended ultralong CNTs (SUCNTs) have led to significant improvements, achieving higher responsivity, detectivity, faster response times, and a wider detection range compared to traditional short CNTs.

Article Synopsis
- Airflow sensors are increasingly essential across various industries like aerospace, environmental monitoring, and wearable tech, but traditional sensors struggle with sensitivity and response times.
- This research introduces high-performance airflow sensors made from suspended ultralong carbon nanotube (CNT) crossed networks, which enhance detection performance due to their unique structure.
- The study demonstrates that these sensors offer high sensitivity and fast response while being practical for applications like respiratory monitoring, thanks to their ability to encapsulate and their distinct sensing mechanisms.
