Headline: High-quality nanodiamonds for bioimaging and quantum sensing applications

■ Release Date: 2024.12.23

■ Published by: Okayama University

■ Keywords: nitrogen, nanodiamonds, sensor

■ Abstract:

Researchers have developed nanodiamond sensors with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, offering exceptional brightness and spin properties for quantum sensing and bioimaging. These nanodiamonds outperform commercial options, requiring 20 times less energy and maintaining quantum states 11 times longer. Enhanced sensitivity to magnetic fields and temperature enables precise applications, including disease detection, battery analysis, and thermal management of electronics, marking a significant advancement in nanotechnology-driven quantum sensing for biological and industrial innovations.
