An elusive material that scientists have wanted to make for decades has finally been synthesised under tremendous heat and pressure – and it is nearly as hard as diamond.

A team of scientists from two universities in China have synthesized a material harder than diamond in the laboratory. When ...

So, not only do these diamond batteries provide a new source of never-ending (at least, compared to our measly lifespans) energy, they also repurpose radioactive material. Diamond batteries aren ...

The patented diamond-silicon carbide material from Coherent achieves isotropic thermal conductivity exceeding 800 W/m-K, and delivers twice the performance of copper, the current industry benchmark.

It’s homoepitaxial, meaning it only grows on other diamonds, and integrating diamond into quantum or conventional computers, quantum sensors, cellphones, or other devices would mean sacrificing the ...

In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. But under the right circumstances, carbon can arrange itself hexagonally, forming a hardier material ...
