This Diamond Quantum Sensor Can See Beyond Walls?! | SBQuantum Part 2

Can a diamond quantum sensor actually see beyond walls? In Part 2 of our conversation with David Roy-Guay [https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-roy-guay/] of SBQuantum [https://sbquantum.com/], we sit down to talk about where diamond quantum magnetometry goes next: from defense and security to magnetic navigation, mining, chip inspection, and real-time detection. David shares how magnetometers can detect magnetic anomalies, support submarine detection, improve navigation through magnetic field mapping, and even help identify metallic objects moving beyond walls. He also explains SBQuantum’s work with the European Space Agency on a next-generation sensor designed to be 10x more sensitive and 10x more accurate. We also dive into the future of the technology-grade grown diamond supply chain: why quantum-grade diamond material is so difficult to produce, why scaling it is such a challenge, and why the biggest opportunity may come from moving beyond raw diamond material into full-stack product development. - Learn more about LattiSpec [https://lattispec.com/]Follow Us on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/lgdintech/]!

Turning Nuclear Waste Into Diamond Batteries?! DIAMFAB Part 2

In Part 2 of our interview with Manoël Jacquemin [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mano%C3%ABl-jacquemin-3801b0171/?locale=en], Research Scientist and Engineer at DIAMFAB [https://www.linkedin.com/company/diamfab-grenoble/], we continue our conversation with DIAMFAB to explore the emerging world of diamond betavoltaic batteries: nuclear-powered devices designed to convert radioactive energy into usable electricity for applications like industrial IoT, civil engineering, harsh environments, and space. The discussion covers how a French consortium involving DIAMFAB, STMicroelectronics [https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en.html], and CEA came together around tritium-based betavoltaic technology, why commercialization still requires careful regulation and scaling, and why technology-grade grown diamond may be one of the most important semiconductor materials for the future. Diamond’s ultra-wide bandgap, radiation hardness, low atomic number, and improved commercial availability make it a powerful candidate for next-generation energy conversion. The episode also looks ahead to future work involving ESA and Orano, with potential space applications and nuclear-waste revalorization on the horizon.
