"Revolutionary Superconducting Camera Achieves Unprecedented Single Photon Resolution"

Researchers have developed a superconducting camera with 400,000 pixels that can detect single photons. The camera uses a grid of superconducting wires that lose their superconductivity when struck by a photon, generating a signal. This breakthrough paves the way for larger-format superconducting cameras that could be used in astronomical imaging and biomedical research. The camera has 400 times more pixels than previous versions, making it more practical for low-light endeavors. The team plans to improve the sensitivity of the camera to capture every incoming photon, enabling it to revolutionize fields such as astronomy and medical imaging.
