TINY DIAMONDS LIGHT THE WAY FOR NEW QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES

Press/Media: Research

Description

Macquarie University researchers have made a single tiny diamond shine brightly at room temperature, a behaviour known as superradiance.This is important because nanodiamonds have the potential to be used in all sorts of devices, such as minute compasses for navigation, in biomedical imaging and to potentially create better solar cells.

Subject

Macquarie University has a strong tradition in diamond materials research with several groups investigating diamond lasers, diamond growth, and nanodiamond processing. There is also a very active group of researchers working on quantum engineering for new technologies with diamond and other systems.
