  • Since the 1950s, scientists have used radio waves to uncover the molecular "fingerprints" of unknown materials, aiding in tasks as varied as scanning the human body with MRI machines and detecting explosives at airports.

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking advancement in quantum sensing technology, where scientists have developed a method to detect sub-atomic signals with unprecedented precision. This new technology utilizes quantum entanglement to enhance the sensitivity of measurements far beyond what traditional sensors can achieve. Researchers have managed to observe minute magnetic fields and other quantum phenomena at scales previously thought unmeasurable. This leap forward could revolutionize fields like medical imaging, where detecting the magnetic fields of the brain could lead to non-invasive diagnostics for neurological conditions, or in navigation, where ultra-precise measurements could improve GPS technology. The implications extend to fundamental physics, potentially allowing for tests of theories that require observing phenomena at the quantum level.
