A fluorescent protein based on a bioluminescent gelatin crystal can be used as a quantum sensor

Quantum sensors made from a glowing protein could be produced by living cells and used to measure small changes in the body much more precisely. This may one day help detect diseases early or control how cells are produced.
Sensors based on the quantum mechanical property of spin can measure temperature, magnetic fields and other phenomena with greater sensitivity than conventional devices. They have already been shown to work in living animals, for example detecting magnetic…
