A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that has long been limited by bulky setups and blurry resolution. Instead of ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that uses a single ion to detect electromagnetic fields above a surface and ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully measured electric fields near the surfaces of two-dimensional layered materials with femtosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolution. They ...

Schematic of the ultrafast pump-probe sensing measurement with a diamond NV tip with the “pin-point mode”, that is vertically approaching and retracting the AFM probe at each designated points on the ...

While it may be an unfamiliar sensation to humans, electroreception is relatively commonplace in the animal kingdom. Sharks, bees and even the platypus all share this ability to detect electric fields ...
