  • Diamonds are dazzling physicists with their powerful quantum properties. A particular impurity - the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre - allows diamonds to be used for everything from geolocation to diagnosing disease. This animation takes a closer look at these NV centres, and the carefully crafted artificial diamonds that make them possible.

      @@rylaczero3740 Maybe you shouldn't, unless there is already existing literature about it. It is very common that press releases are full of false hopes to raise funding to the research. Sometimes even the researches are guilty of exaggerating significance of their findings (reading the original paper usually reveals the true situation). Unfortunately even science is exposed to markets. We need independent and/or government funding.

      @@user255 I understand your point about this being hype. I don't have detailed knowledge about magnetic fields. I think this would be an engineering problem(than a literature problem) if Earth's magnetic field changes all the time, which makes sense since all the stuff inside earth responsible for generating that field is in motion. Idk, you can these diamons laid out evenly everywhere, collect the data and build a real time app, now if you have internet from your base station, you can use the diamond in your phone to get your location, a lot of engineering effort but no satellites. It is possible that these people in video may know something we don't, like earth's magnetic field maybe dynamic but not very unstable at macro scale that we would care about.

      @@rylaczero3740 I meant there should be something in the literature, which says it can be done (at least in theory) and how. You can already use magnetic field to determine where we are (no new technology needed), but it is not very precise (example magnetic North travels several kilometers per year). Also connecting data points around the world currently *do* need satellites (that is what makes Internet global today). Thus I don't see how this could replace GPS.

    I have a question, can someone explain please? So when they say that they can use diamonds in the biological world inside the body, I got confused, what is the actual purpose of the diamond?
    To be classified as a virus by the body so that they can better study the antibodies or inmune disorders?
    Or
    To attract viruses to the diamond so that they can be aware of the presence of a pathogen?
