More Sensitive Light Detection, Even After Thousands of Bends!

A research team led by Principal Researcher Jung-Dae Kwon, Yonghun Kim, and Jongwon Yoon of the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), headed by President Chul-jin Choi, has developed a flexible near-infrared (NIR) photodetector that delivers more than five times higher photoresponsivity while maintaining its performance under repeated bending. The technology is expected to serve as a core platform for next-generation flexible optoele
