back to article Boffins slap quantum dots on diamonds to create mutant nanomaterials

Researchers have found a new way to speed up the process of doping nanomaterials by adding quantum dots to tiny diamonds, which could advance electronics and quantum computing in the future, according to a paper published in Nature Communications. Nanomaterials have properties that are useful in electronics. Electrons travel …

    Headline: Boffins insert quantum dots into diamonds to create mutant nanomaterials

    First paragraph: Researchers have found a new way to speed up the process of doping nanomaterials by adding tiny diamonds to quantum dots

    So which it? Dots in diamonds? Or diamonds in dots? Or both?

      It's quantum, so yes. Or neither.

      Combine this with Quantum Mechanics and you may create a parallel universe where I'm not crap at video shooters.

    Quantum engagement?

    So, diamonds could soon be a girl's best friend, and a girl's mortal enemy, simultaneously? Trippy, man!

    Intel uPs are already expensive enough without the diamonds.

    Quantum dots

    I remember back in college we used to put quantum dots onto paper, and then we'd.....

    oh wait, I'm thinking of something else.

    Gonna get weird

    This century is going to get really weird. The rapid advancements in materials and their physical mass production as applied to everyday products are going leave most people with their mouths open.
