X-ray imagery of vibrating diamond opens avenues for quantum sensing

Supported by the Q-NEXT quantum center, scientists at three research institutions capture the pulsing motion of atoms in diamond, uncovering the relationship between the diamond’s strain and the behavior of the quantum information hosted within.

Main Attraction: Scientists Create World’s Thinnest Magnet

Scientists at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have created an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature. The ultrathin magnet could lead to new applications in computing and electronics – such as spintronic memory devices – and new tools for the study of quantum physics.
