Nanodiamond quantum sensors are a promising new avenue for virus mRNA detection
A novel quantum sensor based on nanodiamonds may better detect the presence of viruses that cause diseases, such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the current gold-standard diagnostic technique for virus detection; however, the method suffers from the need for trained personnel, special […]

Functionalized Nanodiamonds for Sensing Biochemical Processes
Summary Chemotherapy is limited by the failure to clinically monitor the efficacy of the treatment in real-time, which results in suboptimal chemotherapy being given for a prolonged period. Predicting the outcome of chemotherapy immediately after drug administration can increase diagnostic accuracy, efficacy outcomes, and successful treatment. Quantum nanodiamond sensors can be used as optical sensors […]
