Diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen-vacancy centers can now monitor cellular metabolism in real time, targeting specific organelles while tracking particle movement inside living cells.

Researchers have used the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center inside a single nanodiamond for quantum sensing to overcome the problem of random particle rotation. Their study is published in Nature ...

Impurities in diamonds can not only give them color, they can also turn diamonds into precise sensors of magnetic field and temperature. When the impurity happens to be a nitrogen atom, the crystal ...

Researchers at Japan’s Okayama University have developed nanodiamond sensors that can lead to the development of advanced quantum sensors and bioimaging applications. Quantum-grade bioimaging will ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa and the University of Chicago have developed a framework that could yield more accurate ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have demonstrated how to control the "electron spin" of a nanodiamond while it is levitated with lasers in a vacuum, an advance that could find applications in ...

Researchers have demonstrated how to control the 'electron spin' of a nanodiamond while it is levitated with lasers in a vacuum, an advance that could find applications in quantum information ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Sometimes nanoscale diamonds contain a specific type of impurity: a single nitrogen atom where a carbon atom should be, with an empty space right next to it, resulting from a ...

Researchers adapt excited state lifetime thermometry to extract temperatures of nanoscale materials from light emitted by nitrogen vacancy centers in individual nanodiamonds. The approach is less ...

Teams led by Prof. DU Jiangfeng, Prof. SHI Fazhan and Prof. KONG Fei from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) used the Nitrogen-Vacancy ...
