Bottom-up approach can synthesize microscopic diamonds for bioimaging, quantum computing
Scientists are excited about diamonds—not the types that adorn jewelry, but the microscopic variety that are less than the width of a human hair. These so-called "nanodiamonds" are made up almost entirely of carbon. But by introducing other elements into the nanodiamond's crystal lattice—a method known as "doping"—researchers could produce traits useful in medical research, computation and beyond.

Fracking: Earthquakes are triggered well beyond fluid injection zones
Using data from field experiments and computer modeling of ground faults, researchers have discovered that the practice of subsurface fluid injection used in 'fracking' and wastewater disposal for oil and gas exploration could cause significant, rapidly spreading earthquake activity beyond the fluid diffusion zone. The results account for the observation that the frequency of man-made earthquakes in some regions of the country surpass natural earthquake hotspots.

Monitoring the lifecycle of tiny catalyst nanoparticles
In order to tailor nanoparticles in such a way that they can catalyze certain reactions selectively and efficiently, researchers need to determine the properties of single particles as precisely as possible. So far, an ensemble of many nanoparticles is analyzed. The problem of these investigations is that the contributions of different particles interfere, so that the properties of individual particles remain concealed. Researchers have now developed a novel method in order to observe single nanoparticles before, during and after an electrochemical reaction.
