Remote sensing a category broad enough to include both personal medical monitors and space weather forecasting is poised for a quantum upgrade, much like computing and cryptography before it. A new type of quantum sensor that promises both higher sensitivity and greater security has been proposed and tested in proof-of-concept form. What remains to be seen is how broadly it will be adopted, and whether such quantum enhancements might ultimately make for better medical and space weather tech.

Fords Model e electric division has stacked up some staggering losses in recent years, recording a $5.1 billion shortfall in 2024.
