Quantum sensing with nanodiamonds opens new frontiers in detection tech

SMRTR summary

A new quantum sensing method combines nanodiamonds with microfluidics to detect trace chemicals more effectively than traditional approaches. The technique uses nitrogen-vacancy defects in flowing nanodiamond-containing microdroplets to measure changes in fluorescence, enabling sensitive detection of paramagnetic substances like gadolinium ions at very low concentrations.
