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 ...

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 ...

Research that investigates the mechanisms behind diamond formation, and uncovers new ways to produce synthetic forms of the unique stone, could mean big things, and not just for the coffers of ...

A groundbreaking scientific development has emerged, revolutionizing the way we produce synthetic diamonds. Researchers from various institutions have discovered a method to grow real diamonds in a ...

Each week, The Daily’s Science & Tech section produces a roundup of the most exciting and influential research happening on campus or otherwise related to Stanford. Here’s our digest for the week of ...

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend— but they’re this scientist’s best creation. A researcher has discovered a faster method to making diamonds in a laboratory — and it has the potential to ...

A study on the diamonds titled "Sequential Lonsdaleite to Diamond Formation in Ureilite Meteorites via Chemical Fluid/Vapor Deposition" has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National ...

"We calculate that, given the new estimate of the pressure at the mantle-core boundary, and knowing that Mercury is a carbon-rich planet, the carbon-bearing mineral that would form at the interface ...

Diamonds may be forever. But their market value? That might prove less eternal. In a sign of the times spotted by Ars Technica, you can now buy a diamond-generating machine on the Chinese online ...

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 ...
