Abstract: For astronomers, devising better photon detectors is far cheaper than building bigger telescopes. Such detectors can be key elements of progress, and the pulsar at the centre of the Crab nebula is a challenging target for them. New types of superconducting detector have the speed and sensitivity to meet that challenge, and the technology concerned is not yet at its limits.
