Superconducting-nanowire Single-photon Camera with 400,000 Pixels Will Explore Brain cells, space | NextBigFuture.com

A team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, has reported the successful implementation of a 400,000 pixel superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) that they say will pave the way for the development of extremely light-sensitive large-format superconducting cameras. The camera will also prove invaluable for those doing medical research, where ... Read more
