Diamond-Based Magnetic Imaging Could Prove A Boon In Materials Science, Biology, Medicine, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Pittsburgh, and Smithsonian Institution Study

Medical News Today -- Providing a glimpse into the infinitesimal, physicists have found a novel way of spying on some of the universe’s tiniest building blocks. Their “camera,” described this week in the journal Nature, consists of a special “flaw” in diamonds that can be manipulated into sensitively monitoring magnetic signals from individual electrons and atomic nuclei placed nearby.
