Researchers create direction-independent magnetic field-sensing nanotube spin qubits

Scanning electron microscopy image shows an atomic force microscope tip with boron nitride nanotubes containing spin qubits. Purdue researchers have developed a technology that detects off-axis magnetic fields with higher resolution than traditional diamond tips.
