The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the difference? Researchers are finding out. How molten carbon crystallizes into ...
Paving the way to a dry process with less environmental impact Tools coated with diamond film (diamond-coated tools) are used for difficult-to-machine materials such as CFRP. In the manufacture of ...
Diamonds form deep within the Earth's mantle, around 250 kilometers below the surface, where immense pressure (up to 10 GPa) and temperatures (around 2,200 °C) compress carbon into diamonds over ...
A groundbreaking scientific development has emerged, revolutionizing the way we produce synthetic diamonds. Researchers from various institutions have discovered a method to grow real diamonds in a ...

Why some planets rain diamonds

It sounds like something straight out of a big-budget sci-fi film, but the idea of diamonds falling from the sky […] ...
Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...
