A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using classical sensors alone. Such quantum sensors are currently being used to study ...

Making ever smaller and more powerful chips requires new ultrathin materials: 2D materials that are only 1 atom thick, or even just a couple of atoms. Think about graphene or ultra-thin silicon ...

MIT researchers have created a quantum sensor that can measure multiple physical quantities at high-resolution. The sensor is made from so-called nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds, where a carbon ...
