"produces electric current in response to temperature changes across far-IR spectrum... thinner the better at sensing subtle thermal variations, 10 nm so highly accurate... sensors, autonomous driving in fog... directly worn on glasses for night vision: broad-spectrum IR room-temperature sensitivity, lightweight, no cooling needed ... peel method itself also has numerous other applications: semiconducting films, flexible electronics., smart contact lenses, wearable sensing fabrics, stretchy solar cells, bendable displays"
