New Technology Could Dramatically Lower Cost of Electron Sources – For Night Vision, Particle Accelerators and More – Brinkwire

Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory make low-cost, scalable photocathodes from halide perovskites.
Rice University engineers have discovered technology that could slash the cost of semiconductor electron sources, key components in devices ranging from night-vision goggles and low-light cameras to electron microscopes and particle accelerators.
In an open-access Nature Communications paper, Rice researchers and collaborators at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) describe the first…
