"The camera is now the largest of its type. Its pixel array is 400 times greater than the previous largest photon camera. It can work in various light frequencies from the visible to ultraviolet and infrared range and capture images at super high-speed rates, in matters of picoseconds."

At Last, Single-Photon Cameras Could Peer Into Your Brain:The tech has long been stymied on how to scale it out of the lab

“From a scientific perspective, this is definitely opening a new avenue in optical brain imaging, other approaches for optically mapping cortical brain flow may have lower costs, but they all have shortcomings impacting signal quality that often require complex signal processing. There is no compromise with nanowires from a performance perspective.” Dr. Stefan Carp, an associate professor of radiology at the Harvard Medical School

“This nanowire technology is really well suited for the light that’s preferably used in bio-optical devices,”  Dr. Roarke Horstmeyer, an assistant professor of biomedical imaging at Duke University

"...SNSPDs - while especially promising for UV astronomy - currently do not have readout architectures to support mega-pixel format arrays. The largest SNSPD readout architectures have only been able to support arrays on the order of a kilo-pixel, and are unlikely to be scaled to tens of kilo-pixels. There is work to underway to create a robust, scalable architecture for mega-pixel SNSPD arrays, but has only been demonstrated thus far using a proof-of-concept kilo-pixel device. ..." excerpt from Lazar Buntic, Donald F. Figer, and Justin P. Gallagher "Evaluating detector requirements for the next UV/O/IR flagship observatory", Proc. SPIE 12191, X-Ray, Optical, and Infrared Detectors for Astronomy X, 121911L (29 August 2022); https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2630093
