Nitrogen vacancy diamond nanoparticles (NVNPs) are increasingly integrated with methods for optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR), providing new opportunities spanning the visualization of magnetic fields in microelectronic circuits, environmental sensing, and biology. However, only a small number of studies utilize aggregates of NVNPs for surface-wide magnetometry, with the fact that spin orientations in aggregate NVNPs are inherently misaligned, precluding proper magnetic field detection, compared with expensive monocrystalline diamonds. A post-processing method for layering NVNPs with aligned center orientations can potentially facilitate superior NV magnetometry by allowing sensitive detection with a simplified probe preparation. We present novel technology for creating densely stacked NVNP monolayers with inherent interlayer alignment for sensitive measurement of local field perturbations in microelectronic traces. We establish spatial characteristics of deposited aggregates and demonstrate their ability to capture dipoles from conducting microwires via ODMR. Our approach forms a novel accessible protocol that can be used for broad applications in micromagnetometry.

Cellular deconvolution of bulk RNA-sequencing data using single cell/nuclei RNA-seq reference data is an important strategy for estimating cell type composition in heterogeneous tissues, such as the h...

Multiple groups and NIH-funded scientists challenge agency’s decision as arbitrary and capricious

Some 2,000 scientists, including dozens of Nobel Prize winners, have signed an open letter warning that the U.S. lead in science is being "decimated" by the Trump administration's cuts to research.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said it will cut about 10,000 full-time jobs and close half of its regional offices.

For years, I was captivated by the idea that if we could record the activity of every neuron in the brain, we’d eventually crack the code…

The Trump administration broadened its effort to terminate thousands of probationary workers on Thursday, instructing agencies on a call to move forward with the layoffs.
