Batteries have come a long way since Alessandro Volta first discovered in 1800 that two unlike metals, when separated by an acidic solution, could produce an electric current.
Even as royalty set diamonds into crowns and rings, engineers lusted after the gems for different reasons: diamonds are stronger than any other natural material and are excellent electrical insulators and heat conductors.
This spin structure and its behavior were directly observed using the unique aberration-corrected Lorentz transmission electron microscope at Argonne using in situ experiments.
