Quantum sensors created from a glowing protein may be produced by residing cells and might be used to way more precisely measure tiny modifications within the physique. This might sooner or later assist with early illness detection or monitoring how cells type.
Sensors primarily based on the quantum mechanical property of spin can measure temperature, magnetic fields and different phenomena way more sensitively than standard gadgets. They’ve already been proven to work in residing animals, equivalent to detecting the magnetic…
