GE chases butterflies as inspiration for thermal imager

March 13, 2013
General Electric has demonstrated that by doping the butterfly scales of Morpho butterflies with single-walled carbon nanotubes, they can create new highly sensitive thermal imaging sensors.

General Electric has demonstrated that by doping the butterfly scales of Morpho butterflies with single-walled carbon nanotubes, they can create new highly sensitive thermal imaging sensors. The thermal sensors can sense temperature changes down to 0.02 degrees Celsius, and changes in temperature at a response rate of one fortieth of a second.
