ELEMENT-SIX
21.9.2021 01:03:08 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Element Six, part of the De Beers Group, has launched DNV-B14™, its newest general-purpose chemical vapour deposition (CVD) quantum-grade diamond, an ideal material for quantum technologies such as magnetic field devices, RF sensors, solid-state gyroscopes and room temperature masers.

The latest solution in Element Six’s DNV™ Series, DNV-B14™ expands the company’s range of advanced materials for emerging quantum technologies. Diamond containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres offers researchers a unique solid-state platform with spin qubits that can be initialised and read out at room temperature, with long qubit lifetimes. These properties stem from diamond’s unique structure and strong bonds.
DNV-B14™ is designed to provide the end-user with a uniform and high density of NV spin centres - more than a 10-fold increase in NV density compared to DNV-B1™, the first material in the DNV™ Series. Launched last year, DNV-B1™ was winner of the SPIE Prism Award in the Quantum category in March 2021.
The combination of its engineered properties makes DNV-B14™ an ideal solution for experimentation and development of a range of technologies, such as ensemble NV-based vector magnetometry and room-temperature masers.
Dr Daniel Twitchen, Chief Technologist, commented, “Element Six’s founder, Sir Ernest Oppenheimer said no great industry can exist or develop without fundamental research. The DNV™ Series represents exactly that, with sustained R&D within our CVD team spanning over ten years and working across an eco-system that includes large companies, start-ups and some of the world’s leading Universities”.
Element Six diamond with NV densities comparable to DNV-B14™ has already been utilised in the development of high-sensitivity fibre-coupled magnetometers . Without the need for cumbersome cooling equipment, such devices can be made compact, and even portable. They are the ideal enabler of medical diagnostic techniques such as magnetocardiography (MCG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Element Six’s engineered diamond research has also accelerated the delivery of many other breakthroughs in quantum research, including in 2018, when Imperial College London utilised engineered single crystal material in the development of the world’s first continuous-wave, room-temperature, solid-state maser (the microwave equivalent of a laser). Lockheed Martin’s 2019 Dark Ice program also relies on a DNV-enabled magnetometer that measures the direction and strength of nearly imperceptible magnetic field anomalies, opening up new possibilities in GPS-denied navigation.

mimik Operationalizes Agentic AI on the AMD Ryzen™ AI Embedded X100 Series23.7.2026 20:30:00 CEST | Press release
mimik today announced mimOE™ Embedded Edition, a package of its Agentix Operating Engine and a set of purpose-built tools for the AMD Ryzen™ AI Embedded X100 Series processor, the newest processor in a family designed for physical AI, autonomous systems, and industrial automation. Available to download today, mimOE Embedded Edition gives OEMs, tier-1 suppliers, system integrators, and agent developers the path to operationalize Agentix-Native systems (aka Agentic AI), in which autonomous agents can reason, coordinate, and act directly on devices, from PoC to scaled operations with certainty. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260723555565/en/ Agentic AI operations are both CPU and GPU bound. Enterprises can now scale with certainty. Generative AI has centered on the GPU. Agentix-Native systems must spread the work. In a real multi-agent workflow traced by mimik, more than 80 percent of operations were CPU work: d
U.S. Federal Court Permanently Bans 19 Online Sellers of Fake Urolithin A Supplements and Awards $5.3 Million in Damages to Timeline23.7.2026 16:27:00 CEST | Press release
Default judgment follows Timeline’s independent laboratory testing showing products sold under 19 online brands contained no detectable Urolithin A, or far less than advertised Timeline (Amazentis SA), the Swiss life-sciences company that pioneered the postbiotic ingredient Urolithin A and its branded form Mitopure®, together with its U.S. subsidiary Timeline Longevity, Inc., announced today that the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has granted the companies’ motion for default judgments and permanent injunctions against 19 online sellers found to have marketed and sold nutritional supplements falsely advertised as containing Urolithin A.

TestMu AI Introduces the Source-to-Verdict Loop in Kane CLI, Carrying Every Requirement to a Ship Decision With Portable Proof23.7.2026 15:45:00 CEST | Press release
Kane CLI now takes a requirement all the way to a ship-or-hold verdict, designing the tests, running them in a real browser, and emitting an open .evidence proof pack that teammates, AI agents, and auditors can all verify, with no server or dashboard required TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, introduced a source-to-verdict loop in Kane CLI, its natural-language testing tool. Building on Kane CLI's evolution from a browser automation tool, the loop carries a product requirement to a ship decision, writing the tests, running them in the local browser, collecting the proof, measuring coverage from what actually happened, and returning a verdict. As AI agents write, run, and fix tests, a green checkmark is no longer enough: a step that checks nothing passes, a test written against a spec that changed weeks ago passes, and an agent that says “done” without the click ever landing passes. Empty green and earned green are the sa
Norway’s health system adopts Wolters Kluwer UpToDate Enterprise Edition23.7.2026 15:30:00 CEST | Press release
Enterprise Clinical Decision Support solution available to 30,000 clinicians in more than 50 Norwegian hospitals Wolters Kluwer Health announced that Norway’s health system has renewed its adoption of UpToDate Enterprise Edition, a market-leading Clinical Decision Support (CDS) solution, for its nationwide health system which includes over 50 public hospitals and 11,000 beds in over 20 trusts.
