Polymer thin-film optical cavities boost the magnetic sensing sensitivity of nanodiamond quantum sensors nearly fivefold ...

Japanese researchers are pushing quantum technology to the point where it can register unimaginably small disturbances, edging closer to instruments that could follow the subtle fingerprints of dark ...

(A) Overview of NV-based widefield quantum sensing: energy level diagram and atomic structure of NV centers; and the experimental apparatus of widefield quantum diamond microscope. (B) A schematic ...

Researchers unveil a quantum measurement protocol that tracks the velocity and direction of wave-like dark matter particles.

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Physicists have unveiled a breakthrough in quantum sensing by demonstrating a 2D material as a versatile platform for next-generation nanoscale vectorial magnetometry. A team of physicists at the ...

In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They hunt for tiny magnetic signals that ripple across materials atom by atom. Those signals hold clues to ...

If you learned about biology and quantum mechanics in the same course, it was probably in the form of two unrelated chapters in different parts of the syllabus in something like an integrated science ...

The advent of quantum sensors is currently making waves in many scientific fields, especially in oil exploration. Their ability to detect hidden oil reserves, which could be overlooked by traditional ...

Design engineers are considering quantum sensors to detect the tiny and fast nerve signals as an alternative to the standard approach of implanting electrodes, which is invasive, and electrodes can ...

First author Karl D. Briegel (l.) with Prof Dominik B. Bucher and their new microscope. The resolution of the new MRI microscope reaches ten-millionths of a meter - that is so fine that even the ...
