Thinnest X-ray detector ever created: Highly sensitive and with a rapid response time, the new X-ray detector is less than 10 nanometres thick and could one day lead to real-time imaging of cellular biology

Researchers have created the world's thinnest X-ray detector using tin mono-sulfide (SnS) nanosheets. Highly sensitive and with a rapid response time, the new X-ray detector is less than 10 nanometers thick and could one day lead to real-time imaging of cellular biology.
