  This work briefly discusses the potential applications of the Skipper-CCD
technology in astronomy and reviews its current use in dark matter and neutrino
experiments. An overview of the ongoing efforts to build multi-kilogram
experiments with these sensors is given, in the context of the Oscura
experiment. First results from the characterization of Oscura sensors from the
first 200 mm wafer-fabrication run with a new vendor are presented. The overall
yield of the electron counting capability of these sensors is 71%. A noise of
0.087 e$^-$ RMS, with 1225 samples/pix, and a dark current of (0.031$\pm$0.013)
e$^-$/pix/day at 140 K were measured.
