"missing boron atom in boron nitride process sped up by bombarding with helium... voids naturally fill with electrons highly sensitive to surroundings... electrons also react to changes in electric fields... quantum sensors trapped in thin, stable boron nitride matrix... Other types of sensors are typically created in a vacuum environment that must be chilled to temperatures near absolute zero... room temperature... biomedical, geologic and life sciences, drug discovery"
