The president of Acrorad, a company developing X-ray detectors based in Okinawa, has been working to replace the luminescing ceramic with a semiconductor called cadmium telluride (CdTe).

The mirrors for NASA's Near-Earth Object Surveyor space telescope are being installed and aligned, and work on other spacecraft components is accelerating.

At the heart of the spectrometer is an arrangement of mercury cadmium telluride photodiodes cooled to minus 203 degrees Celsius ... light on the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (studying Saturn and its ...

Developed by the University of Toledo, the cell achived the highest efficiency ever reported for flexible cadmium telluride solar cells to date. The device reached an open-circuit voltage of 861 ...

A little over a year ago we’d written about a sub $100 muon detector that MIT doctoral candidate [Spencer Axani] and a few others had put together. At the time there was little more than a paper ...

Complementing the mirror assembly are the telescope’s mercury-cadmium-telluride detectors, which are similar to the detectors ...

Lastly, the analyzer’s dual-level vibrational dampening enables it to function even under harsh field conditions. The MAX-iR analyzer includes a deuterated triglycine sulfate (DTGS) detector as ...

made of cadmium telluride (CdTe), which reportedly enhances extraction of charge carriers while reducing device defects. The researchers explained that the presence of a BL in a perovskite cell ...

Cadmium is a metal in group IIB of the periodic table with atomic number 48, an atomic weight of 112.40, and a density of 8.65 Mg/m 3. Its melting point is 320.9 C, and it boils at 7654 C. The ...
