Could diamonds be a computer's best friend?
Columbus OH (SPX) Mar 25, 2014
For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that information can flow through a diamond wire. In the experiment, electrons did not flow through diamond as they do in traditional electronics; rather, they stayed in place and passed along a magnetic effect called "spin" to each other down the wire-like a row of sports spectators doing "the wave." Spin could one day be used to transmit data in computer circuits-and this new experiment, done at The Ohio State University, revealed that diamond tra ... read more
