SENSE at TecDays
(News)
2017-06-13
In March 2017 our colleagues from the university of Genua presented SENSE at the TecDay at college Rousseau within a module on “The messengers of the Universe”. TecDays is an initiative of the SATW (Schweizerische Akademie der Technischen Wissenschaften) to promote technical understanding and stimulate curiosity about technical and scientific training at secondary schools all over Switzerland. In different modules the fascination of technology and science is made accessible for young people....
Low light-level sensors
Detection of light is one of the major, basic principles of measurements and diagnostics in science and many applications. Many applications require single photon detection in various energy domains. The LLL detection in the coming years has the promise of a technology revolution.
