Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national synchrotron science facility, located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire. We also work with the Warwick Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group on the development of Diamond Based Sensors. Diamond Light Source (Diamond) represents the UK’s national synchrotron light source. The International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research (IIDGR) is part of De Beers group of companies, and ensures exceptional accuracy and outstanding knowledge. Our Mission is to provide a premium grading service and equipment unique to the diamond industry. You can also find recent examples of research at Diamond in our Science Highlights.The expertise of the scientific team at Diamond presents an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to use the facility. ), but in delivering diamond enabled technological solutions to the challenges facing our society today.Diamond has been valued for its appearance and mechanical properties for at least two thousand years; as a gem stone diamond is unsurpassed. So far, scientists at the facility have successfully determined the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease in high-resolution, an area of the virus that could be targeted by new drug compounds.All experimental data has been made openly available in real-time to encourage worldwide collaboration and rapid progress. You could uncover new ways to utilise this material's unique structure. The list of impressive properties goes on, some of the extreme properties have been known for many years, but the true magnitude of others are still only coming to light as control in synthesis and hence material perfection is improved.Congratulations to Enrik who has successfully defended his PhD Thesis. The ultimate prize for man made diamond is surely not in the synthesis of gem stones (or should that be “clones”? The diagnostic device is called ‘personalised medicine signature device’ (PMSD). The Diamond Science & Technology Centre for Doctoral Training (DST CDT) is a gateway to the best in the UK's diamond research. The Hope diamond, perhaps the world’s most legendary gem, arrived at its present home at the Smithsonian Institution on Nov. 10, 1958 via the U.S. mail – albeit registered first class! This would help the right treatment to be given to the right patient, at the right time. DIAMOND-Lewy Welcome to the NIHR Funded DIAMOND-Lewy website. This online course gives students an introduction to the entire world of diamonds.
