Building on the fundamental principles of the interaction of radiation with matter, I will introduce how different detector types are utilized in particle physics experiments to provide precise information on the energy and momentum of a particle or photon. This will be followed by an overview of state-of-the art sensor technology in silicon tracking and timing detectors, especially highlighting developments oriented towards the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider. Unanswered questions in science already drive the motivation for experiments beyond the HL-LHC: I will briefly present the physics cases of various upcoming or proposed colliders, which both determine and challenge the detector design and signal processing from sensor to memory. Finally, I will touch on the aspects of interdisciplinary collaboration and education within instrumentation for particle physics, and its potential for technology exchange with other fields of science and technology, for example medical imaging.
