A research team led by professors from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has harnessed the remarkable UV vision of butterfly to create a groundbreaking imaging sensor. This sensor, designed after the Papilio xuthus butterfly's enhanced visual system, is capable of "seeing" into the ultraviolet (UV) range, a part of the spectrum imperceptible to the human eye. By employing perovskite nanocrystals and stacked photodiodes, this innovative technology can differentiate between cancer cells and healthy cells with an astounding 99% confidence level.
