Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses the use of quantum sensors with optically addressable spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) for detecting magnetic noise from paramagnetic spins, which is important for chemical and medical analysis.
  • The researchers created boron vacancy defects in ultrathin hBN nanoflakes and measured their spin relaxation time, observing the effects of added Gd ions on spin behavior under certain conditions.
  • The study shows that hBN nanopowder enables effective spin measurements, paving the way for the development of highly sensitive, two-dimensional quantum sensors for various applications.

The welfare of working equids in developing countries is sometimes threatened due to the limited resources and/or knowledge of their owners. The objective of this study is to evaluate the welfare of creole horses and mules using a validated protocol that assesses animal-based indicators. A total of 160 horses and 40 mules from three municipalities in the Colombian coffee-growing region were evaluated by means of direct observation of health and behavioral parameters.
