Current Awards & News
AMA Innovation Award 2023: Quantum Technologies wins with the first fully optical, microwave-free NV diamond sensor head for magnetic field and current measurement – awarded for high detection sensitivity, robustness and great market potential.
The sensor head is thinner than a human hair, chemically inert, non-magnetic, galvanically isolated – ideal for industries that previous sensor technology could not address.
