Solid-state spin systems including nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond constitute an
increasingly favored quantum sensing platform. However, present NV ensemble devices …

“Quantum sensing” describes the use of a quantum system, quantum properties, or quantum
phenomena to perform a measurement of a physical quantity. Historical examples of …

Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have recently emerged as promising
candidates for a new wave of quantum applications. Thanks to hBN's high stability and two …

The long-dreamed-of capability of monitoring the molecular machinery in living systems has
not been realized yet, mainly due to the technical limitations of current sensing technologies …

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the structural analysis of
organic compounds and biomolecules but typically requires macroscopic sample quantities …

Precise timekeeping is critical to metrology, forming the basis by which standards of time,
length, and fundamental constants are determined. Stable clocks are particularly valuable in …

Quantum sensing using optically addressable atomic-scale defects, such as the nitrogen-
vacancy (NV) center in diamond, provides new opportunities for sensitive and highly …

The second quantum revolution hinges on the creation of materials that unite atomic
structural precision with electronic and structural tunability. A molecular approach to …

The currently available techniques for molecular imaging capable of reaching atomic
resolution are limited to low temperatures, vacuum conditions, or large amounts of sample …
