Picture perfect X-ray capture

KAUST ·

Researchers at KAUST have developed a nanocomposite material that converts X-rays into light with nearly 100% efficiency. The material combines a metal-organic framework (MOF) containing zirconium with an organic TADF chromophore. This design achieves high resolution and sensitivity in X-ray imaging, potentially reducing medical imaging doses by a factor of 22. Why it matters: This innovation could lead to more efficient and safer medical imaging and security screening technologies in the region and beyond.
