Johns Hopkins APL is advancing portable quantum sensing using nuclear magnetic resonance to detect both chemical and biological threats in contested environments. By confining nuclear spins within nano-containers, the team aims to achieve high sensitivity with minute sample volumes without requiring bulky cryogenic equipment. This development represents a significant step toward field-deployable quantum sensors that can identify harmful substances previously undetectable by conventional methods.
Johns Hopkins APL Sensor Could Broaden Threat Detection for Warfighters
Johns Hopkins APL scientists are developing a portable quantum sensor using nuclear magnetic resonance, potentially identifying chemical & biological threats for warfighters.
Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory scientists are developing a quantum sensing platform roughly the size of a laptop, aiming to bring the versatility of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to warfighters in contested environments. Current NMR techniques, while capable of identifying both chemical and biological threats, rely on refrigerator-sized equipment and large liquid samples; the APL team seeks to overcome these limitations with a portable device. “There are many good sensors employed in field environments, but they tend to focus on a narrow range of either…
