Key to running faster is
a better photon detector, Shields says.

Launched in June and designed to detect high - energy
photons called gamma rays, Fermi is actually a sophisticated particle
detector that serves just as
well to detect electrons and positrons.
In the
best experimental run, both
detectors simultaneously identified
photons a total of 6,378 times over a period of 30 minutes.
Superconducting nanowire single -
photon detectors (SNSPDs) are significantly
better at
photon detection efficiency (DE) compared to their semiconducting counterparts, and have enabled many breakthrough applications in quantum...
