High-quality nanodiamonds offer new possibilities for bioimaging and quantum sensing
Researchers have developed nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers that exhibit superior spin properties and fluorescence compared to commercially available NDs. These NDs exhibit longer spin relaxation times and require less microwave power for spin detection, making them ideal for quantum sensing of biological samples. Provided by: Masazumi Fujiwara, Okayama University Quantum sensing is a rapidly developing field that…

Laser vibration sensing technology can detect landmines faster than traditional techniques
Researchers at the National Center for Physical Acoustics are developing a faster and more efficient way to detect buried objects such as landmines using laser arrays and vibrating machines. In this image, objects buried in the soil appear as red blobs. NCPA Chief Scientist Vyacheslav Aranchyk (right) recently introduced the technology at a conference in Japan.
