SCIENCE - Researchers optically levitate a glowing, nanoscale diamond (w/ Video)

(Phys.org) —Researchers at the University of Rochester have measured for the first time light emitted by photoluminescence from a nanodiamond levitating in free space. In a paper published this week in Optics Letters, they describe how they used a laser to trap nanodiamonds in space, and – using ...
