The challenge for sustainable energy has brought forth two cutting-edge innovations: green hydrogen production and diamond batteries. These two developments change the way we see energy in the ...

Spinning around: physicists have created a gyroscope using nuclear spins in diamond. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Inna Bigun) Researchers in Russia have built a highly accurate, atomic-scale gyroscope that ...

What if a battery could last 5,700 years without ever needing a recharge? It sounds like a dream; however, an innovative study from the University of Bristol as well as the UK Atomic Energy Authority ...

(Nanowerk News) It is the hardest material in the world, and yet it can not only be used to cut other materials, but can be machined itself. Already over 600 years ago first diamonds were cut and the ...

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 ...

Researchers from Dalian University of Technology have developed a novel photocatalytic chemical mechanical polishing (PCMP) slurry tailored for Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) polishing, which achieves ...
