Researchers, led by NPRE PhD candidate Souvik Bhattacharya (left) and professor Mohan Sankaran, have now discovered another interesting property in diamonds with added boron, known as boron-doped diamonds. Their findings could pave the way for new types of biomedical and quantum optical devices—faster, more efficient, and capable of processing information in ways that classical technologies cannot.
