Researchers use laser to levitate, glowing nanodiamonds in vacuum
Rochester NY (SPX) Sep 08, 2015
Researchers have, for the first time, levitated individual nanodiamonds in vacuum. The research team is led by Nick Vamivakas at the University of Rochester who thinks their work will make extremely sensitive instruments for sensing tiny forces and torques possible, as well as a way to physically create larger-scale quantum systems known as macroscopic Schrodinger Cat states. While other researchers have trapped other types of nanoparticles in vacuum, those were not optically active. The nanodiamo ... read more
