Using a diffusion process to train their model, they showed the system pairs of images\u2014one, a normal photo, and the other, a thermal image of the same scene. By comparing the images, the system learned to understand the \u201crelationships\u201d between regular photos and thermal images, learning how features such as faces can be transformed from the thermal to the visible domain.<\/p>\n<h2>SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A NANODIAMOND<\/h2>\n<h3>Ishan Barman<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19497\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 910px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19497\" src=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Nanodiamonds.jpeg\" alt=\"Microscopic image of light-emitting defects in a diamond\" width=\"900\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Nanodiamonds.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Nanodiamonds-300x153.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Nanodiamonds-768x391.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">532 nm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jewelers consider cut, color, clarity, and carats when evaluating a diamond\u2019s worth. But in the quantum world, another quality is more valuable: the presence of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. These light-emitting defects in the jewels\u2019 lattice are potent sources of quantum particles that have the potential to be used in sensing applications ranging from biological imaging to electrical and field sensing and more. Until now, it has been challenging to attach NV centers with structures that amplify their optical properties. Ishan Barman, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, has come up with an original solution. He is pairing NV centers with DNA\u2019s self-assembling abilities to create high-performance hybrid plasmonic nanodiamonds: infinitesimal diamond-like particles that can control light in unique ways. The innovative approach resulted in the components arranging themselves into a closed nanocavity that surrounded the nanodiamond: an arrangement with a profound impact on the nanodiamond\u2019s brightness and emission rates.<\/p>\n<h2>HAVING A BALL WITH OPTIMIZATION<\/h2>\n<h3>Benjamin Grimmer<\/h3>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19511\" src=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"3D-printed rendering of optimization algorithms\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/inf-inf-clipped-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19509\" src=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-3-gold_clipped-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"3D-printed rendering of optimization algorithms\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-3-gold_clipped-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-3-gold_clipped-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-3-gold_clipped-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-3-gold_clipped-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-3-gold_clipped-125x125.jpeg 125w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-3-gold_clipped.jpeg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19507\" src=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-1-clipped-300x232.jpeg\" alt=\"3D-printed rendering of optimization algorithms\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-1-clipped-300x232.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-1-clipped-1024x792.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-1-clipped-768x594.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/magazine-archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-1-clipped.jpeg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/faculty\/benjamin-grimmer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benjamin Grimmer<\/a> designs and analyzes optimization algorithms\u2014a field that is frustratingly abstract to many.
