It might be hard to resist the temptation of hurrying to pick out colors for painting, and furniture for the house; but there is a very important list of things that should take precedence immediately ...

The wind starts screaming, snow swirls like angry ghosts, and the power flickers—suddenly, you realize this isn’t just any ...

We’ve also added the X-Sense Wi-Fi Water Leak Detector Kit SWS0A41 as another water-leak detector worth considering and added a few dismissals to the competition section. May 2025 ...

Minimizing vibration is usually achieved by doing experiments on optical tables, which are very large, heavy and rigid in order to dampen motion. Therefore, when a cryogenic cooler (cryocooler) is ...

Installing a smart water sensor can save you a lot of money and hassle. The best models we've tested immediately alert you to leaks and even shut off your home's water supply.

We report our time-resolved measurements of NbN-based superconducting single-photon detectors. The structures are meander-type, 10-nm thick, and 200-nm wide stripes and were operated at 4.2 K. We have ...

Single-photon detectors that can resolve photon number play a key role in advanced quantum information technologies. Despite significant progress in improving conventional photon-counting detectors ...

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples.
