Quantum sensors constituted of a glowing protein may be produced by dwelling cells and could be used to far more precisely measure tiny modifications within the physique. This could at some point assist with early illness detection or monitoring how cells form.
Sensors primarily based on the quantum mechanical property of spin can measure temperature, magnetic fields and different phenomena far more sensitively than standard units. They have already been proven to work in dwelling animals, similar to detecting the magnetic…
