Summary
Researchers in Japan have developed a new biocompatible quantum nanosensor that can measure the temperature inside living cells with high precision. The sensor works by detecting spin states of a nanoparticle within the cell nucleus, enabling internal temperature measurement. This breakthrough could potentially be used to characterize cancer cells and other biological processes where cellular temperature plays a key role.
