In a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, astronomers at the University of Turku discovered that a well-known X-Ray binary—the precise nature of which has eluded scientists up until now—is actually a covert ultraluminous X-Ray source.
Researchers reviewed the integration of graphene photodetectors with perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and silicon (Si) to enhance optoelectronic performance. These hybrid structures address graphene's weak light interaction by leveraging Si's high absorbance and PQDs' efficient charge transfer, offering significant improvements in photodetection capabilities.
