nanodiamond
Microscopic precious crystal
A nanodiamond is a diamond particle measuring just a few nanometers across—thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair.
These microscopic carbon structures occur naturally in meteorites and can be synthesized in laboratories.
Nanodiamonds have applications in drug delivery, polishing compounds, and quantum computing research: Researchers are exploring nanodiamonds as carriers for cancer drugs.
