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 ...

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 ...

Synthetic diamond research examines organic molecular interactions under the microscope. Scientists have long developed different techniques to produce artificial diamonds, but a new method from ...

There are various ways to create artificial diamonds, but a new method developed by researchers, including those at the University of Tokyo, yields some extra benefits. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

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 ...

Almost 100 million years ago, in what is now Pike County, nature created one of the world's most unusual diamond-bearing formations, the big volcanic "pipe" that now serves as the centerpiece of ...

I honestly thought it was too big to be a diamond!’ said Raynae Madison of Oklahoma, who made the dazzling discovery ...
