For the first time, two quantum sensors have worked simultaneously inside a living cell: one made of protein, the other of diamond dust. A laser microscope orchestrates them like a conductor, allowing us to hear the magnetic whispers of cellular processes. This is a step toward quantum reading of neuron signals and the creation of ultra-precise biosensors.
🎯 Some proteins in the eyes of migratory birds can sense Earth's magnetic field, acting as natural quantum compasses.
🎬 Reminiscent of the medical tricorder from 'Star Trek': it peers into cells and deciphers their magnetic whispers.
