Great, now all we need are room temperature superconductors to operate the detectors.

How many Chinese persons were working on this technology? And how soon will Beijing have this technology?

Wow!We haven’t given this technology over to the ChiComs yet. That’s amazing.

How long until Harbor Freight has a knockoff that works once and half as well?

Uh Oh, The Chinese spies will have updated their shopping list to grab this new tech!
I seriously hope & pray they have great security for this project to protect this tech from being stolen!
Even Russia, for being a 'friend' of CHina has been a repeated victim of their brazen and blatant thefts!
They have documented over 500 times that China has stolen technology from them.

It’s on Xi’s demand list to pal joey no doubt.

Maybe they won’t lose airliners now.

I think you mean, “How hard are the Chinese trying to steal this technology?” A: Not very hard. All they have to do is bribe a DemocRat Senator or two.

The Army has a bolometer?
Run all the Generals in front of it.

Microwave bolometers have been around for decades. I’ve used them to measure millimeter-wave power. The difference is this one is small enough to make huge arrays of them, kind of like the image sensor in a camera.

"Researchers published their study in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. The team includes scientists from Harvard University, The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pohang University of Science and Technology, and Raytheon BBN Technologies. The Army, in part, funded the work to fabricate this bolometer by exploiting the giant thermal response of graphene to microwave radiation. The microwave bolometer developed under this project is so sensitive that it is capable of detecting a single microwave photon, which is the smallest amount of energy in nature, said Dr. Joe Qiu, program manager for solid-state electronics and electromagnetics, Army Research Office, an element of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Commands Army Research Laboratory. If Harvard & MIT is in on it, then you know the ChiComs have a direct line into their research already.
Its almost as bad as a realtime screen capture that TikTok uses but with direct access to all the research notes and data.

Weeks.

China probably had the technology before the Army announced it.

Whatever happened to thermal noise? This looks like a system that has to work at cryogenic temperatures but apparently doesnt. I hope Mother Nature has not been violated.

Given that list? Lots. Guaranteed China has been kept up to date the entire time.
