Research in Diamond Brings Quantum Computing A Little Closer

If we were to connect only 100 of these NV centers with each other, we would get two to the power of 100 coupled memory cells. “Physically, this is considerably more than we need to store the entire knowledge of humankind,” as Dr. Meijer explains the dimensions. A totally new computer technology can be built by applying the laws of quantum mechanics – with it, we could, for example, calculate the properties of complex biological molecules or crack codes within a fraction of a second.

Super Strong Carbon Tip Suited to AFM's and data Storage Applications

German and US researchers have produced a super-sharp, strong, and resilient carbon tip that has earned top place as the industry's current benchmark. Funded by the EU, the diamond-like tip is 3,000 times more wear-resistant at the nanoscale than a silicon oxide tip, making it ideal for use in atomic imaging, probe-based data storage, and other emerging applications.
