Diamond ‘Spin-Off’ Tech Could Lead to Low-Cost Medical Imaging and Drug Discovery Tools

Photo - Microscopic images of diamond particles with nitrogen-vacancy defects. These samples, which exhibit a truncated octahedral shape, were used in experiments that sought new ways to tune and control an electronic property known as spin polarization. The scale bar at lower right is 200 microns (millionths of an inch). To the human eye, the pinkish diamonds resemble fine red sand. (Credit: Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley)

Planck Collaboration Wins 2018 Gruber Cosmology Prize

$Image - A visualization of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB, as detected by ESA's Planck satellite over the entire sky. A small fraction of the CMB is polarized, meaning it vibrates in a preferred direction. In this image, the color scale represents temperature differences in the universe’s cosmic microwave background, while the texture indicates the direction of the polarized light.
