Is There Any Use for Superconductors in Your Field?

Superconducting nanowires are useful as detectors for single photon. They work over a very broad band from say near infrared to you can detect like complete spectrum of radiation. So compared to a lunch photodiodes where there were only in certain wavelength ranges, so the superconducting Nanowires that they work over a much broader range. And these are all naturally occurring materials? Yes, most of them are, yes. Okay. I was just wondering, is there any use for superconductors in your field? As detectors. That's something which we are looking at and yes, I mean the superconductor.
