A University of Tokyo team has turned organic molecules into nanodiamonds using electron beams, overturning decades of assumptions about beam damage. Their discovery could transform materials science ...

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 ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have found a groundbreaking new approach to synthesize diamonds that offers ...

A groundbreaking scientific development has emerged, revolutionizing the way we produce synthetic diamonds. Researchers from ...

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 ...

Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Okavango Blue Diamond, a dazzling 20.46-carat stone, is more than just a beautiful jewel-it's practically a miracle of ...
