An international research team has created a new fluorescent nanosensor using carbon nanotubes, capable of quickly identifying a biomarker associated with gut health and disease. This advancement may lead to more rapid and accessible testing for gut health. The biomarker, indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), is a metabolite formed by gut bacteria during the breakdown of dietary…

Scientists globally are striving to create advanced quantum systems for sensing, communication, computing, and control that could surpass conventional technologies. Developing stable and discernible quantum states, which are crucial for these systems, poses significant challenges. Quantum states have unique traits that can be used to build new information processing systems, but achieving stability and distinguishability…
