At Last, Single-Photon Cameras Could Peer Into Your Brain

Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation, Mechanical, Production & Manufacturing

Superconductor-based cameras that can detect a single photon—the smallest smidgeon of light—have existed for 20 years, but they’ve remained confined to laboratories due to the inability to scale them past a few pixels. Now, a team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colo., has created…
