Story summary

Dr. Petr Cígler led an international team that developed a method to produce light-emitting quantum centers in nanodiamonds in minutes.
The Pressure and Temperature Qubits process enables industrial-scale production of nanodiamonds.
The technique uses high pressure and temperature, with table salt preventing fusion.
These nanodiamonds can detect molecules and measure temperatures in living cells for medical and environmental use.
The project received support from AMULET initiative in Czech Republic.
