Foreign media: Chinese scientists have developed a revolutionary infrared sensor inspired by fire beetles, which is 20,000 times faster than existing technology and has extremely high sensitivity. The sensor combines palladium diselenide and pentacene, enabling it to efficiently absorb infrared light and simulate the thermal sensing ability of the beetles.

In testing, it tracked flame movement with 95% accuracy and performed well in harsh environments. This sensor can be used in missile defense systems, drones, and satellites, enhancing military surveillance and defense capabilities, and may even change the global military power balance, posing a challenge to the US's "Gold Dome" project.
