The World’s Most Precise Microchip Sensors Created – Thanks to a Spider web
A research team from TU Delft managed to design one of the world’s most precise microchip sensors; the device can function at room temperature – a ‘holy grail’ for quantum technologies and sensing. Combining nanotechnology and machine learning inspired by nature’s spider webs, they were able to make a Nano mechanical sensor vibrate in extreme isolation from everyday noise. This breakthrough, published in Advanced Materials’ Rising Stars Issue, has large implications for the study of gravity and dark matter, as well as the fields of a quantum internet, navigation, and sensing. The biggest challenge for studying vibrating objects at the smallest scale,…
