Diamond, renowned for its extraordinary hardness and clarity, is proving to be an exceptional material for high-power electronics and cutting-edge quantum optics. By introducing impurities like boron, diamond can be engineered to conduct electricity much like a metal.
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have uncovered a remarkable new property in boron-doped diamonds. These enhanced diamonds could lead to groundbreaking advancements in biomedical and quantum optical devices, enabling faster, more efficient technologies capable of processing information in ways traditional systems cannot. The findings, published today (January 14) in Nature Communications, highlight the transformative potential of this discovery.
