Desert ant shows Chinese team the way to high-definition polarised light sensor chip

Chinese researchers inspired by the eyes of the desert ant have developed a compact chip to detect the orientation of polarised light.

The chip can have a wide range of uses including in navigation, fingerprint detection, and even identifying cancerous tissue, the team said.

Polarisation photodetectors (pol-PDs) are special light sensors that can sense the direction of polarised light. By…
