The Diamond Light Source synchrotron in Oxford is to receive more than half a billion pounds to upgrade and expand its scientific capabilities. Running on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus ...

Scientists in the UK have made a major breakthrough that could help unlock the full potential of quantum technologies.

Specifically, the defects in the diamond act as spin-photon interfaces, which means they can connect quantum bits of information (stored in the spin of an electron) with particles of light.

Specifically, the diamond defects operate as spin-photon interfaces, allowing quantum bits of information (stored in an electron's spin) to be connected to light particles.

A battery made of diamonds could power devices for thousands of years, scientists have announced. This battery would be powered by a diamond surrounding a radioactive isotope of carbon known as ...
