The so-called magneto-sensitive fluorescent proteins or MFPs, overcome key limitations of previous biological candidates for quantum sensors.

A team at Japan's National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) has published a field-defining Perspective ...

Diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen-vacancy centers can now monitor cellular metabolism in real time, targeting specific organelles while tracking particle movement inside living cells.

Generally, biology and quantum mechanics are discussed separately. There seems to be no connection between the two, but 80 years ago, legendary physicist Erwin Schrödinger hinted that biological ...

Quantum dot solar cells harness the unique properties of semiconductor nanocrystals to capture a broader spectrum of solar radiation, offering substantial promise for next-generation photovoltaics. By ...

Atomic defects in nanodiamonds enable both precise heating of lysosomes inside macrophages and nanoscale temperature measurement, revealing that localized thermal spikes trigger immune cell ...

Quantum sensors made from a glowing protein can be produced by living cells and could be used to much more accurately measure tiny changes in the body. This could one day help with early disease ...

Ischemic stroke remains a leading global cause of disability and mortality, and a major challenge in stroke treatment is "reperfusion injury"—where return of blood flow causes oxidative stress and ...

Quantum entanglement has shifted from a philosophical puzzle to a design brief for engineers working at the scale of atoms, ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum information storage plays a central role in the development of the quantum ...

Universal Quantum has staked its reputation on the trapped-ion approach, allowing it to scale in the quickest and most ...
