A New Approach to Efficient Optoelectronics, Inspired by the Human Eye

A recipe for energy efficiency: an optical sensor that also processes data. The transparent dome represents interactions between photons (red and green) and the nanoscale elements on the substrate. Carbon nanotubes with quantum dots (small spheres) are shown connected to CMOS circuitry below. (Credit: François Léonard/Sandia National Laboratories)
