Scientists discover diamonds can generate electricity
1+ hour, 40+ min ago (519+ words) Researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have discovered that ultrathin, highly flexible diamond membranes can produce a measurable piezoelectric response, challenging a scientific assumption that has stood for more than a century. The work was led by Professor…...
Seven new frog species were hiding beneath Madagascar’s forest floor
19+ hour, 25+ min ago (830+ words) An international research team has identified seven previously undescribed species of Madagascar's elusive diamond frogs (Rhombophryne), adding new evidence that this unusual amphibian group is far more diverse than scientists once realized. Accurately identifying species and understanding where they live…...
Scientists crushed diamond beyond Neptune-like pressures—and solved a 20-year mystery
1+ week, 3+ day ago (1282+ words) Diamond is famous for its beauty, but its value extends far beyond jewelry. This exceptionally hard form of carbon is used to make the tiny capsules that hold fuel in inertial confinement fusion experiments. Scientists also think diamonds may form…...
Economist: Tens of billions of dollars in forest products are being overlooked
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (765+ words) Are we missing the forest for the trees? More than timber grows in forests -- including products worth many tens of billions of dollars. Because these goods go unrecorded in official trade statistics, their economic value escapes our attention. As a…...
A tiny diamond defect could reveal a mysterious new kind of magnetism
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (499+ words) A newly proposed quantum sensing technique could make it much easier to identify one of physics’ newest and most intriguing classes of magnets: altermagnets. These unusual materials, discovered only a few years ago, appear to combine the speed and efficiency…...
Entangled spins give diamonds a quantum advantage
9+ mon, 2+ week ago (245+ words) Working at the intersection of quantum physics and materials science, Jayich and her team study how precise atomic-scale imperfections in diamond -- known as spin qubits -- can be engineered for advanced quantum sensing. Among the group's standout researchers, Lillian Hughes, who…...
Scientists unlock the quantum magic hidden in diamonds
10+ mon, 3+ week ago (129+ words) Dr. Lubotzky added, "What excites us is that this works in a simple, chip-based design and at room temperature. That means it can be integrated into real-world systems much more easily than before." The research demonstrates not just clever engineering,…...
