Fluorescent Nanodiamond Encapsulated Liposomes for Quantum Sensing in Nematode Worms

Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) are promising quantum nanosensors that can probe inside living organisms such as nematode worms. Introduction of FNDs into nematode worms is a first but critical step for the quantum nanosensors to probe inside the worms. In this paper, we report on the synthesis of FND-encapsulated liposomes (FND-Liposomes) using a microfluidic device and the introduction of FNDLiposomes to C. elegans. We successfully confirmed the fluorescence and ODMR of FND-Liposomes in C. elegans.
