Diamond has long been the go-to material for quantum sensing due to its coherent nitrogen-vacancy centres, controllable spin, sensitivity to magnetic fields, and ability to be used at room temperature ...

As a new member of photovoltaic family, antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) has the satisfactory bandgap of 1.7eV, benefiting the fabrication of the top absorber layer of tandem solar cells. Due to special ...

(Nanowerk News) Diamond material is of great importance for future technologies such as the quantum internet. Special defect centers can be used as quantum bits (qubits) and emit single light ...

Every time you tap, click, or scroll, your device stores and processes data with memory. Memory technology today, however, is getting to its limits.

Physicists at Purdue University have levitated nanoscale diamonds, hit them with lasers to make them flash and sent them spinning at an incredible 1.2 billion rpm. The experiments aren’t just about ...

Researchers have discovered a novel way to manipulate defects in semiconductors. The study holds promising opportunities for novel forms of precision sensing, or the transfer of quantum information ...

Physicists have experimentally observed spin centers in two-dimensional materials. Such centers can act as quantum bits -- even at room temperature. Although boron nitride looks very similar to ...

Experimental set-up of hBN quantum sennsor. (Image: RMIT University) To date, quantum sensing chips have been made from diamond as it’s a very robust platform. The limitations of diamond-based sensors ...
