Physicists move a diamond with the force of electron spins alone

Researchers at Japan's Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology moved a 128-milligram diamond using only the force generated by electron spins in its nitrogen-vacancy centres, a result they say could lead to sensors sensitive enough to probe gravity and the quantum-classical boundary.
