Sensor uses acoustic waves to detect objects at smallest scales

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of 35-millimeter film. But what happens when you want to take a picture of something so small that the sensor itself has to shrink d...
