On page 238, S. Wang, L.‐M. Peng, and co‐workers demonstrate the potential for constructing IR imaging systems based on solution‐processed carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The inside cover depicts a part of the 150×150 detector array, showing a typical cascading photodetector with two virtual contacts, which can greatly increase the signal‐to‐noise ratio and therefore improve light detection. Compared with traditional IR systems, detectors based on solution‐processed CNTs are simpler to fabricate, lower cost, and much more stable.
