We’ve built an endoscopic diamond magnetometer! With some development, this could help find secondary tumours in breast cancer surgery, as well as helping with laparoscopic and endoscopic operations. Our probe is only 10 mm in diameter: an endoscopic probe has to be 12 mm or less

Our new paper is out: “On the Road with a Diamond Magnetometer”… I drove the van while Stuart Graham measured the magnetic field using a diamond! This could be useful for navigation using a magnetic map. The paper is free to download for 50 days

The best Lego set ever: the solar system. My youngest built it but it would look good at a university open day for an Astro degree

Join us! There is a fully-funded PhD studentship in my group working on our levitated microdiamond experiment towards (eventually) a test of the quantum nature of gravity. I will also soon be advertising a 3-year postdoc job on this project. warwick.ac.uk/gavinmorley/...

It was great to have Jason Smith visiting last week to talk about our work towards a diamond quantum computer as part of the UK Quantum Technology Hubs NQIT and QCS, via UKRI and EPSRC 🧪💡 #quantum
