Researchers Develop New Technique for Improving Properties of Diamonds

Researchers at the Carnegie Institution have developed a new technique for improving the properties of diamonds-not only adding sparkle to gemstones, but also simplifying the process of making high-quality diamond for scalpel blades, electronic components, even quantum computers. The results are published in the October 27-31 online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science.

Shedding Light on Molecular Mechanism Responsible for Fluorescent and Dark States of Protein

Some organic substances have a property called photochromism, meaning that their absorption spectrum, or color, changes when they are exposed to certain types of light. In particular, a new artificial protein called Dronpa shows great promise for applications because it can be switched back and forth between a 'bright' state and a 'dark' state.
