#TBT to our DEFCON 29 badge. More than just a stylish accessory, it offered something for everyone. The detailed artwork, a collaboration w/ flysurreal.com provided a cockpit-like experience & FAA-compliant lighting.
Our 2025 badge is in the works and it’s going to be awesome! @defcon.bsky.social

It's out!! Very proud to have worked on this, and if you want to get into quantum sensing and help improve and open source project, THIS IS FOR YOU!
💎 Meet Uncut Gem — our first fully open-source, hackable quantum sensor! 💎
We see talk about opening up quantum tech and making it accessible —so we did something about it. Say hello to a sensor built to empower exploration, lower barriers, and bring quantum sensing to all 🔗⤵️
