Detecting Remagnetization with Quantum Diamond Microscopy: A New Window into Paleomagnetism
Understanding Remagnetization in Geologic Records Rock formations preserve a record of the Earth’s magnetic field through remanent magnetization. Over geological timescales, minerals can reset or acquire new magnetic signals during chemical changes, metamorphism, or recrystallization. Detecting remagnetization is essential for accurate paleomagnetic reconstructions, dating events, and understanding plate tectonics. Traditional techniques map bulk magnetization but…

Scientists Used a Diamond to Create a New Phase of Matter
A Quantum Leap: Diamonds and Time Crystals In a landmark experiment, scientists have leveraged the extraordinary properties of diamond to realize a new phase of matter known as a time crystal. Unlike ordinary crystals that repeat in space, time crystals exhibit repetition in time, a phenomenon that challenges classical intuition and broadens the landscape of…
