Researchers have developed the world's smallest ultrasound detector

(Helmholtz Zentrum M ü nchen - German Research Center for Environmental Health) Researchers at Helmholtz Zentrum M ü nchen and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed the world's smallest ultrasound detector. It is based on miniaturized photonic circuits on top of a silicon chip. With a size 100 times smaller than an average human hair, the new detector can visualize features that are much smaller than previously possible, leading to what is known as super-resolution imaging.
