Diamond sensor measures nano-scale magnetics
Princeton researchers have developed a diamond-based quantum sensor that can measure magnetic phenomena at the nanometre scale. “The technique uncovers fluctuations that are beyond the reach of existing instruments and provides key insight into materials such as graphene and superconductors,” according to the university. “The underlying diamond-based sensing methods have been under development for half a decade. But the team ...
