Abstract

Quantum sensing at the atomic scale has proved challenging. Now, a quantum sensor comprising a molecular spin, which can be addressed by electron spin resonance, attached to the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope enables the measurement of weak electric and magnetic fields with sub-ångstrom spatial resolution.
