Next-generation sensors to be used in fields as diverse as mineral exploration and climate change will be turbo boosted thanks to University of Queensland and University of Sussex research.
Theoretical physicist Dr Stuart Szigeti, of UQ's School of Mathematics and Physics, said future precision sensing technology would exploit unusual effects of quantum mechanics.
"Our research showed a way to recycle atoms and reuse them in a device called an atom interferometer," Dr Szigeti said.
"This technique will vastly improve the performance of these devices, leading to improved sensing technology.
