A tape includes a plurality of superconducting elements, such as pixels, distributed along a longitudinal direction of the tape. The tape has a size along a first dimension, such as a thickness, which is at least 10 times smaller, than a size along a second dimension, such as a width, and where the size along the second dimension, such as the width, is at least 10 times smaller, than a size along a third dimension, such as a length. There is also presented a use of the tape, a method of manufacture of the tape, and a bolometer and/or a kinetic inductance detector comprising the tape.
