The diamond was around 0.04 inches in size and exhibited more sturdiness and resistance compared to typical cubic diamonds.

Researchers have synthesized millimetre-scale hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure so elusive that many physicists doubted ...

A new technique uses a pulsing laser to create synthetic nanodiamond films and patterns from graphite, with potential applications from biosensors to computer chips. “The biggest advantage is that you ...

Pressure makes diamonds, but according to recent findings, there may also be a much quicker, hassle-free way. A team of researchers at Stanford University has stumbled upon a new way of turning ...

Discuss the implication of growing diamonds: In the NOVA scienceNOW video segment, Neil visits a "diamond farm"—a secret location where the diamonds are "chemically, physically, and optically ...

Converting graphite into diamond has been a long held dream of alchemists the world over. In the modern era, materials scientists have puzzled over this process because it’s hard to work out why the ...
