ITMO Scientists Increase Sensitivity of Levitating Particle Sensors
Researchers from ITMO University studied the movement of a single levitating microparticle and found the optimal state when it becomes highly sensitive to small external influences. This effect can lay the foundation for a general-purpose sensor that would precisely and quickly measure the vector of gravity, acceleration, angular moments, and directed weak force. Such data will be useful in geological exploration, as well as in detecting seismic activity or locating ships and other vehicles. The study was published in Physical Review A.
