The nearly-occult art of quantum computing research could soon help scientists in fields as remote as biology. Two teams of researchers from the United States and Germany have found a way to ...

Samples of the film were then immersed in a supersaturated calcium sulfate solution for 20 hours at room temperature, to allow the mineral scale to deposit. The nitrogen-terminated diamond film ...

Diamonds are the most sought-after and admired gemstones, with a sparkling brilliance that sets them apart from all other jewelry. That’s as true today, when diamonds are mined on an industrial scale, ...

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 ...

A lead-vacancy (PbV) center in diamond has been developed as a quantum emitter for large-scale quantum networks by researchers. This innovative color center exhibits a sharp zero-phonon-line and emits ...
