Quantum Magnetometer on board EU Space Mission Ariane 6
During its historical launch on July 9th, 2024, the Ariane 6 rocket carried a special device called a diamond-based quantum magnetometer, which was created by imo-imomec students under the OSCAR ESA-funded YPSAT project. Imomec is a joint research institute of IMEC and Hasselt University, partnering the EU-funded AMADEUS project. The magnetometer is tightly related to the […]

Hasselt Diamond Workshop
The 27th meeting of the international Hasselt Diamond Workshop continues the tradition of being the annual “early bird” venue for researchers to exchange the latest news on the progress in science and applications of CVD diamond. The meeting began in 1996 as a workshop for discussions about ‘Surface and Bulk Defects in Diamond’ (hence the acronym SBDD), and has since become known as one of the premier international conferences on diamond science and technology.
AMADEUS kick-off meeting
We are happy to announce the successful launch of the EU-funded project AMADEUS (Advancing the MArket uptake of Diamond dEfects qUantum Sensors). It started on October 1, 2022 and it will last for three years. AMADEUS is an industry-oriented consortium involving large companies, RTOs, SME’s and academic partners. The project targets the market uptake of quantum sensors exploiting Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centres in ultrapure diamond crystals, one of the most promising and market-ready technology of quantum sensing. NV centres in diamond is the core element for robust quantum sensing with unprecedented compactness, which enables disruptive technologies for a variety of applications ranging from novel tools for semiconductor industry to novel ways to measure and analyse brain functions.
