Scientists repurposed smartphone camera sensors to create a high-resolution Antimatter Camera.
Scientists have developed a high-resolution antimatter camera by repurposing smartphone camera sensors, leveraging their advancements in sensor technology. Here's a summary of how this was achieved: Smartphone camera sensors are designed to capture high-resolution images by detecting light. Their compact size and efficiency make them suitable for various applications. Antimatter, such as positrons (the antimatter equivalent of electrons), emits gamma rays when it interacts with matter. Scientists aimed to detect these gamma rays to visualize antimatter. The smartphone camera sensors were modified to be sensitive to the specific wavelengths of gamma rays produced by antimatter interactions. This often involved adjusting the sensor's optics and integrating additional filtering or detection mechanisms. The captured signals from the sensors require sophisticated algorithms to interpret the data accurately. Scientists developed software that can analyze the patterns and ...
