News reports in the popular press made this sound like a dramatic increase in sensitivity of all digital sensors. This press release from the University of Wisconsin-Madison makes it sound like it's a dramatic sensitivity improvement limited to flexible sensors.

<http://news.wisc.edu/releases/19358>

The specs of the device are available here if anyone knows how to interpret them. <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adom.201570058/abstract>

I don't know what it means but this sounds impressive:
"... the photodetector is shown to have a photoconductive gain of ≈109 electrons per photon..."

It doesn't copy properly but that's supposed to be 10 to the 9th power.
