Researchers at IIT Kharagpur, in collaboration with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, have developed a highly sensitive sensor technology. This innovation allows ordinary smartphone cameras to detect extremely tiny, invisible objects, potentially leading to low-cost, portable medical testing and other applications requiring the detection of minute substances.
The $1.2 billion in-space manufacturing market is expected to grow and be worth more than $20 billion by 2033.
