Levitating nanodiamonds spin at 1.2 billion rpm in a vacuum

Physicists at Purdue University have levitated nanoscale diamonds, hit them with lasers to make them flash and sent them spinning at an incredible 1.2 billion rpm. The experiments aren’t just about creating the “world’s smallest disco” but could help t… Continue reading Levitating nanodiamonds spin at 1.2 billion rpm in a vacuum
