Superconducting resonators with high quality factors are extremely sensitive detectors of the complex impedance of materials and devices coupled to them. This capability has been used to measure losses in multiple different materials and,…
Sensors based on the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance have limited sensitivity, up to 123 degree/Refractive Index Unit, which restricts their applicability in detecting subtle changes gin biological media (around 10-5 RIU). To…

Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is a powerful tool for studying contact electrification, using an tiny tip to image voltages caused by transferred charge. It has been used in stationary studies focused on finding patterns (e.g.…
A common approach to detecting weak signals or minute quantities involves leveraging the localized spectral features of resonant modes, whose sharper lines (i.e. high Q-factors) enhance transduction sensitivity. However, maximizing the…
Five FBK ``NUV-HD-Cryo'' SiPMs have been characterized at 7 K and 10 K, with 405 nm and 530 nm LED light, respectively. The dark count rate (DCR) was measured to be $\sim$ 1 Hz for the $\sim$ 100 mm$^2$-size SiPMs, or 0.01 Hz/mm$^2$, which…
Superconducting radiation detectors typically exhibit detection and single photon sensitivity limited to the mid infrared wavelength range. Extending their detection capabilities into the far infrared range (>10 um) requires careful…
