'Revolutionary' is used too often to describe advances in science. When applied to the invention of the charge-coupled device (CCD) array by Willard Boyle and George Smith, however, it is not far off.

For hundreds of years, the principle behind the telescope has been as simple as it gets: build a lens or mirror to collect a large amount of light, focus that light onto a detector (like an eye, a ...
