Researchers led by Nathalie de Leon have developed a magnetic sensing technique using quantum entanglement to detect previously hidden fluctuations in advanced materials such as superconductors. The researchers implant point defects in lab-grown diamonds to reveal an unprecedented look at magnetic field structure and correlated noise, a quantity that is beyond the reach of existing instruments.

A tiny spider inspired soft robot designed at the University of Macau can roll, climb, and even move upside down inside the digestive tract. Guided by magnetic fields and real time imaging, it may one day give doctors a painless way to detect and treat gastrointestinal disease in hard to reach places.

A team at Trinity College Dublin has created a nasal vaccine made from antibiotic killed Bordetella pertussis that protects the lungs and completely clears the nose in preclinical tests. By building strong local immunity where infection begins, the needle free AIBP platform could finally curb whooping cough transmission and open the door to new vaccines against other respiratory bacteria.
