Diamond Compass Sees Atoms ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Sub-nanometer resolution of the nitrogen-vacancy center by Fourier magnetic imaging"
Precision of 0.28 nanometers: a new method finds a single defect in diamond, like a grain of sand in a swimming pool.

A single atom in diamond works like a tiny magnet. The new method reveals its exact location with sub-nanometer precision. This opens the way to scanning molecules inside living cells.
🎯 These defects are so sensitive they detect the magnetic field of a single proton—it's like hearing a whisper from across an ocean.
