After so many years searching for someone to fill the "Blank Space" in her heart, billionaire chanteuse Taylor Swift has, it seems, finally found her person in Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. After two years of dating, the celebrity couple announced this week that they're engaged to be married in an Instagram post that featured, as seen below, a beautiful photoshoot in a rambling English garden, complete with the caption "your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

A Tiny Diamond Defect Could Be Blocking Fusion Breakthroughs

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-31 19:56:25

Every part of a fusion reactor is designed for maximum efficiency. Well, in theory, at least. In reality, the materials chosen to bring us closer to fusion don’t always perform as expected, leading to structural glitches that obstruct fusion reactions. Diamond capsules used to safely store hydrogen fuel are no exception, but a new study offers some guidance for researchers hoping to preemptively address these material shortcomings. In a recent Matter paper, material scientists describe how the

Arkansas Hosts the Planet’s Only Public Diamond Mine

wired.com Benj Edwards 2025-11-11 03:29:05

In southwest Arkansas, the state government runs what might be the world’s most unusual diamond mine. For the price of a movie ticket, anyone can dig for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park—and keep whatever they find. The 37-acre search field near Murfreesboro sits atop an ancient volcanic pipe that erupted roughly 100 million years ago. That eruption brought diamonds that formed deep within the Earth’s mantle to the surface, where they now wait in the soil for anyone with a garden trowe

A Special Diamond Is the Key to a Fully Open Source Quantum Sensor

wired.com Lily Hay Newman 2025-11-30 09:40:47

Quantum computing is either a distant dream or an imminent reality depending on whom you ask. And while much of this year's Quantum Village at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas is focused on emerging research and threat analysis, Village cofounders Victoria Kumaran and Mark Carney are also working to make a currently available quantum technology more accessible to hackers and anyone else. In a main-stage Defcon talk on Saturday, the pair will present an open source and affordable quan

When Aret Oymakas started selling diamonds years ago, engagement ring shoppers came in looking for one thing for their brides-to-be: a real, mined diamond. "It was just a diamond," said Oymakas, owner of Livia Diamonds in Toronto. "And you got what you were able to get … in terms of design and budget." These days, not so much. Lab-grown diamonds have become massively popular in recent years, giving the traditional, mined version a run for its money. Oymakas says natural diamonds made up 100

ABSTRACT Red diamonds are among the rarest gems on Earth, especially Fancy red diamonds that are pure red and unmodified by brown, orange, or purple. At 2.33 ct, the Winston Red diamond is the fifth-largest Fancy red diamond known to exist and the only Fancy red diamond on public exhibit. On April 1, 2025, it was unveiled in a new exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. This is the first scientific and historical study conducted on this noteworthy stone.

Computing’s Top 30: Harini Hapuarachichi

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2026-03-21 14:00:22

In medieval Europe, kings wore diamonds to absorb the gemstone’s purported powers of strength and invincibility. Today, researchers are seeking to harness those same storied powers to fuel quantum computing’s next leap. Among those researchers: Harini Hapuarachichi, a computational physicist and postdoctoral research fellow at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT)—and one of Computing’s Top 30 Early Career Professionals for 2024. In the following Q&A, Hapuarachichi discusses her g
