Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Ulster University in Belfast, UK, have reviewed leading work in subsurface nanometrology, the science of internal measurement at the nanoscale level, and have suggested that quantum sensing could become the foundation for the field's next era of discoveries. Potential applications could range from mapping intracellular structures for targeted drug delivery to characterizing quantum materials and nanostructures for the advancement of quantum computing.
