Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum world is already full of mysteries, but what happens when this strange domain ...

Engineers have introduced a holistic system that integrates sensing, storage and processing at the sensor's edge to enable efficient and secure signal processing. Brain-inspired hardware minimizes ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

A series of parallel cuts are made partway into the sides of the sensor, alternating back and forth between the left and right sides. When the sensor is in a relaxed state, an electrical current ...

Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan have reported the first use of ultra-low power ...

BEAVERTON, Oregon — Vernier Science Education recently launched the Go Direct ® Soil Moisture Sensor to help high school and college-level students easily and accurately collect data during soil ...

Far above Earth, scientists are using quantum sensors to listen for the faintest whispers of unseen forces that may weave through the universe. Scientists are constantly searching for new clues about ...

Using a scanning tunneling microscope equipped with a femtosecond terahertz laser, scientists have exploited the quantum properties of a two-atom hydrogen molecule to observe changes in the ...
