Using nanoparticles of gold, researchers at the National University of Singapore have found a way to boost the performance of mineral molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), which is found in light-sensing photodetectors used in a wide range of technologies, such as environmental sensing, process control in factories, and optical communication devices. They describe this improvement in the journal Applied Physics Letters, which is produced by AIP Publishing.
