Quantum sensors comprised of a glowing protein will be produced by dwelling cells and may very well be used to far more precisely measure tiny adjustments within the physique. This might at some point assist with early illness detection or monitoring how cells kind.
Sensors based mostly on the quantum mechanical property of spin can measure temperature, magnetic fields and different phenomena far more sensitively than standard units. They’ve already been proven to work in dwelling animals, comparable to detecting the magnetic…
