Measuring Hyperpolarization in Tiny Diamonds

Caption

The device in this diagram was used to study diamonds subjected to green laser light and low-field microwave energy. After they were pulsed with laser light, the diamond samples were quickly hoisted up to a high-field superconducting magnet to measure a property known as 'hyperpolarization.'
