13 August 2025 | Hamamatsu Photonics Norden AB

The legacy of Albert Einstein extends far beyond his renowned theory of relativity and the iconic equation E=mc². While many attribute his Nobel Prize in Physics to these contributions, the accolade was actually awarded for his groundbreaking explanation of the photoelectric effect. This seemingly minor discovery has vast implications in our everyday lives, influencing technologies we often take for granted, such as digital cameras and facial recognition systems found in smartphones and automation using LiDAR technology.
