Clipped to the Drawing Board by Yan Chu  
Washington : Scientists at the Center for Quantum Devices (CQD) in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University have invented a high-performance infrared imager that looks at wavelengths 20 times longer than visible light.

The researchers revealed that their imager was based on a Type II superlattice.

Lead researcher Manijeh Razeghi, Walter P. Murphy Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said that the new technology could revolutionise the detection of terrorist activitieslike use in night vision, target identification, and missile tracking.
