Quantum Film Might Replace CMOS Sensors
An anonymous reader writes "Quantum film could replace conventional CMOS image sensors in digital cameras and are four times more sensitive than photographic film. The film, which uses embedded quantum dots instead of silver grains like photographic film, can image scenes at higher pixel resolutions. While the technology has potential for use in mobile phones, conventional digital cameras would also gain much higher resolution sensors by using quantum film material." The original (note: obnoxious interstitial ad) article at EE Times adds slightly more detail.

HTML is obsolete. It's time for a new, simpler and richer markup language.
You can't know if a film is Lawrence Of Arabia or a Rob Schneider picture until you actually watch it. Very spooky at any distance.

I dunno about quantum photography, it's neither here nor there.
It gripped her hand gently. 'Regret is for humans,' it said.
That's the trouble with it - you can know its sensitivity or its resolution, but not both, and the act of measuring one changes the other.

You put it in a box with a certain cat.
> I thought photography was getting away from film . . .
Well, it is and it isn't.
