Quantum sensors (IMAGE)
Caption
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 atom in the diamond’s crystal lattice is replaced by a nitrogen atom and a neighboring atom is missing, creating an electronic spin that is sensitive to external effects.
