Sounds like the next-generation of night vision is on its way.

I live for the day night vision won't be any more complicated or expensive than a pair of sunglasses... "Why, yes, Doctor, I'd like my new glasses to be scratch-resistant, glare-proof, having high-impact transition lenses, with night vision."
Maybe this will get us closer!

30 years ago, detectors were already approaching 100% conversion efficiency: 1 photon = 1 electron. It's tough to increase that by "1000x"*.
Me thinks they are referring to the duration you can integrate the signal before reading it - which by itself is very useful.
*This is for "non-coherent" systems. Every application mentioned in the article supports this. Nothing in the article indicates otherwise.

thanks to a new image sensor invented at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
Nanyang Technological University (NTU)is located in Singapore, They will probably share the invention with the ChiComs.
