An NV microscope is a recently-developed instrument that uses defects in diamond as sensitive probes of weak magnetic fields. It is particularly well-suited for analysing samples of van der Waals ...

Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal, atmospheric pressure and without a starter gem, which could make the precious gemstones easier to grow in the lab. When you ...

Researchers from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) at Mumbai and Kharagpur have built a microscope that can ... defect centre” in a diamond crystal. Such NV centres act as pseudo atoms ...

Here we report a promising solution to this problem using a new optical magnetic imaging modality known as the quantum diamond microscope 10,11,12, which employs a transparent diamond chip sensor ...

Diamonds aren't indestructible." Beside hammers and chisels long used by the craftsmen, there is also more modern equipment - lasers and a microscope, which helps putting tiny diamonds on bands. "It's ...
