Dirt. For millennia, the dark, rich soil underlying farms and gardens worldwide has been central to human survival. It’s also a lot more complex than it looks. Within every clump of soil lies an ...

MIT researchers have created a quantum sensor that can measure multiple physical quantities at high-resolution. The sensor is made from so-called nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds, where a carbon ...

Engineers at Stanford University and at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a small, autonomous device with a stretchable/flexible sensor that can be adhered to the skin of cancer-bearing ...

A new solid-state quantum sensor developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) can measure multiple parameters at once. The approach could help us improve our ...

Kansas State University researchers have received a $2 million award from the National Science Foundation’s Global Centers program to develop sensors that can more accurately detect nutrients, ...
