Within tiny diamond defects hides an incredibly quiet quantum whisper. Previously it was drowned out by the sensors' own noise, but now scientists have 'overheard' it, reducing interference by 3.8 decibels. This is how sensors sensitive to a single spin are born.

🎯 NV centers can detect the magnetic field of a single protein molecule—they are being explored as nanosensors inside living cells.
