An international team of researchers (Austria, Switzerland, Germany, South Korea, Belgium, China, India) has designed a direct X-ray detector based on halide perovskite semiconductor (Cs2AgBiBr6) which has high sensitivity and structural stability. By optimising the materials and lowering the operating temperature they were even able to improve the X-ray sensitivity of the device tenfold, ultimately peaking near 500 times more sensitive than commercial direct conversion X-ray detectors on the market. The finding has applications as a diagnostic tool in fundamental research and medical fields… read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ,
