MXene materials help photodetectors see the light
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Photodetectors are the devices that convert information carried by light into an electric signal that can be processed by electronic circuits and computers. They are found in everyday devices, such as television remotes and motion sensors, and they are a key component in many artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. But the largest, and fastest growing market for them is in data centers and telecommunications-where tens of millions of them are deployed each year to accommodate the skyrocketing storage demands of our computing technology.
