Quantum Sensors Boron nitride breakthrough

Inside the Quantum Revolution: Breakthrough Sensors Measure Magnetism at 30,000x Atmospheric Pressure | Future Tech In a stunning advancement at the frontier of quantum physics, researchers have designed quantum sensors capable of measuring magnetism and stress under extreme pressures --over 30,000 times the pressure found at Earth's surface. This breakthrough offers profound implications for future technologies, including material science, geology and superconductivity research. The Quantum Challenge: Measuring Under Extreme Pressure Quantum physics continually reveals the hidden properties of matter, but probing subatomic particles under extreme pressure has long remained an unresolved challenge. Conventional sensors fail to operate under such intense conditions, making the study of quantum effects at ultra-high pressure virtually impossible--until now. A team of physicists at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) , led by Chong Zu , assistant professor of physics and membe...
