Scientists Develop Revolutionary Atomic-Scale Quantum Sensor

The new sensor can detect minute magnetic and electric fields with unprecedented spatial resolution, transforming atomic-level material analysis.

International team from Germany and Korea created the world's first quantum sensor for atomic-scale measurements.
The sensor uses a single molecule attached to a scanning tunneling microscope for high precision.
It offers MRI-like imaging capabilities for quantum materials, setting a new standard in spatial resolution.
Potential applications include advancements in quantum materials, catalysts, and biochemistry.
The research was published in Nature Nanotechnology, marking a significant milestone in quantum technology.
