Diamond

Diamonds and diamond particles can have many beautiful colours. These colours are usually caused by atomic defects in the crystal lattice, often referred to as colour centres. 

Nanomaterials

Nanomaterials are more than 10 000 times smaller than the diameter of a hair. They are becoming increasingly important in products from television screens to biomedical diagnostics.

Quantum Sensing

Quantum sensing harnesses the behavior of quantum particles, such as atoms and photons to enable highly precise measurements of temperature and electric and magnetic fields at the nanoscale.

Bioimaging and Sensing

Light is a powerful tool that allows us to image biological systems at the scale of individual cells. It enables us to detect and observe physical and biochemical processes in real-time.
