Using NV centers—glowing defects in diamond—scientists directly captured the mutual influence of spins. Reducing measurement noise paves the way for ultrasensitive quantum sensors.

The experiment showed that a single electron in a diamond can act as both a motor and a battery when charged with a quantum rhythm. After a few cycles, it produced almost double the work compared to its classical heat-based counterpart. This achievement brings us closer to an era of nanomachines ope
