Diamonds owe their fame to a unique set of outstanding properties. They combine a high
refractive index, hardness, great stability and inertness, and low electrical but high thermal …

Due to their unique optical properties, diamonds are the most valued gemstones. However,
beyond the sparkle, diamonds have a number of unique properties. Their extreme hardness …

Diamond magnetometry is a quantum sensing method involving detection of magnetic
resonances with nanoscale resolution. For instance, T1 relaxation measurements, inspired …

Several polymer-based nanocomposites have been studied and used for tissue engineering
applications in recent years. These biodegradable nanocomposites have proven …

Diamond magnetometry makes use of fluorescent defects in diamonds to convert magnetic
resonance signals into fluorescence. Because optical photons can be detected much more …

Here, we present multifunctional fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) for simultaneous drug
delivery and free radical detection. For this purpose, we modified FNDs containing nitrogen …

Free-radical generation is suspected to play a key role in cardiovascular diseases. Another
crucial factor is shear stress. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECS), which form …

Free radicals play a key role in the ageing process. However, free radicals are small,
reactive and short lived and thus challenging to measure. We utilize a new technique called …

Beyond the sparkle, other properties of diamond have gained increasing attention in the
past few decades among chemists and physicists. Color centers impurities formed by one …

Acetaminophen overdoses cause cell injury in the liver. It is widely accepted that liver toxicity
is initiated by the reactive N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP) metabolite N-acetyl-p …
