Diamond stands up to a squeeze. Surprisingly, the material’s structure persists even when compressed to 2 trillion pascals, more than five times the pressure in Earth’s core, scientists report January ...

Carbon comes in many different structures, most famously graphite and diamond. Other forms were predicted to exist at extremely high pressures, but now researchers have examined carbon under the ...

Many a special diamond has been unearthed in Botswana, but this one is something else. A diamond split cleanly in two—one ...

Gas-jet deposition has emerged as a highly promising technique for the synthesis of diamond structures, employing high-velocity gas streams to activate and transport precursor species under controlled ...

Scientists found something unexpected inside a meteorite that hit Earth 50,000 years ago. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. While ...

Extreme geological events, like the kind that form mountains, can ‘deform' a diamond, giving some their unique colors, ...

A new form of diamond has been created. Its unique structure gives it properties that are similar to those of natural diamonds, but it is more stable under extreme heat, so may be useful in tools that ...

A new study in Nano-Micro Letters by scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China and the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science reports a major leap in photodetector ...
