Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) sensors are ultra-sensitive semiconductor devices capable of detecting individual photons with picosecond temporal precision, making them invaluable for imaging phenomena at extremely fast timescales.

Over centuries, soil would rebuild from decomposed organic matter, reestablishing a functional ecosystem. Metals would corrode, plastics photodegrade, and concrete crumble, gradually buried beneath layers of vegetation and sediment as the biosphere erases humanity’s architectural footprint.
