The achievement is described in Applied Surface Science. “Our laser method provides atomic-level control over diamond surfaces in a standard air environment,” commented lead researcher Dr. Mojtaba ...

Researchers have used lasers to encode information in diamonds, demonstrating record-breaking data density in an ultra-stable ...

This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research recently published in Applied Surface Science ("The effects of sub-monolayer laser etching on the chemical and electrical ...

Research is paving the way for advanced diamond-based technologies in electronics and quantum computing. Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface ...

The researchers placed these shards in front of a laser that fired ultrafast pulses of light at the diamonds, which subsequently shifted some of the mineral’s carbon atoms. These atom-sized ...

An international team of scientists, including from Heriot-Watt University, UK, has announced plans to develop a revolutionary new way of harvesting solar energy in space. The team is aiming to ...

The new method involved the use of a laser to remove single carbon atoms from the surface of the diamond, leaving a tiny cavity. The cavity, the researchers note, exhibits a certain level of ...

Previous techniques have also used laser pulses to encode ... colleagues expect that their diamond-based system could eventually be miniaturised to fit within a space the size of a microwave ...

Millot and colleagues squeezed a mixture of hydrogen and helium between two diamonds and hit the concoction with a powerful laser to compress it even further. As the pressure and temperature ...
