When a low - energy neutrino or antineutrino from a supernova collides with a water molecule in the tank, the resulting light signal is recorded by about 100 of 13,000 photomultipliers,
ultrasensitive light - detecting devices that turn a tiny flash of light into a larger recordable burst of electricity.

Now, an optical whispering gallery mode resonator developed by Penn State electrical engineers can spin
light around the circumference of a tiny sphere millions of times, creating an
ultrasensitive microchip - based sensor for multiple applications.
The result may lead to
ultrasensitive force detectors and to ways of controlling an object's mechanical vibrations as deftly as we now control electricity and
light.
These carbon nanotube quantum
light emitters may be important for optically - based quantum information processing and information security, while also being of significant interest for
ultrasensitive sensing, metrology and imaging needs and as photon sources for fundamental advances in quantum optics studies.
