Breakthrough: Scientists Develop Highest-Resolution Superconducting Camera with 400,000 Pixels

Scientists at NIST have developed the world's highest-resolution single-photon superconducting camera with 400,000 pixels, a 400 times increase compared to similar cameras. The camera, made up of grids of thin electrical wires cooled to near absolute zero, enables the capture of weak light signals for various applications, including biomedical imaging and astronomical observations. The novel readout structure allows for scalability, potentially leading to even larger cameras with higher resolution. The team plans to improve the camera's sensitivity to capture every incoming photon, opening up possibilities for low-light imaging and biomedical studies.
