A new diamond-based quantum sensor detects single electrons and maps atomic defects, offering an unprecedented view into how materials behave at the smallest scale. (Nanowerk News) From the microchips ...

Diamonds are famous for carrying heat away faster than almost any other solid, yet new research shows that at the scale of individual atoms they can briefly bottle it up instead. Scientists have now ...

Diamonds are no longer just prized for their brilliance. In cutting-edge physics labs, synthetic diamonds with carefully ...

Scientists discover 'hot spots' around atomic defects in diamonds, challenging assumptions about the world's best heat conductor. (Nanowerk News) Diamond, famous in material science for being the best ...

Researchers are leveraging these engineered defects to develop diamond-based quantum sensors for healthcare, diagnostics, ...

Researchers use microscopic defects inside a diamond to build a chain of three qubits (pictured as small circles with arrows) that they can use for quantum sensing. They start from a central defect, ...

Researchers at Penn State, the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company have developed methods to control defects in two-dimensional materials, ...
