At Rice University, a research lab's signature keepsake has helped perfect a method for growing patterned diamond surfaces that could help decrease operating temperatures in electronics by 23 degrees ...

What started as a fun experiment to create a decorative diamond “owl” for distinguished ...

Overheating is one of the biggest problems facing modern electronics, from smartphones to powerful data centers. Now, researchers at Rice University have developed a new way to grow patterned diamond ...

HOUSTON – (May 23, 2025) – Diamond is one of the most prized materials in advanced technologies due to its unmatched hardness, ability to conduct heat and capacity to host quantum-friendly defects.

Researchers in Japan have developed a new method for making 2-in wafers of diamond that could be used for quantum memory. The ultra-high purity of the diamond allows it to store a staggering amount of ...

Researchers from Rice University developed a bottom-up microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method for growing ...

Sometimes scientific ideas come from unexpected corners. At an art exhibition in 2017, Australian artist Karen Cunningham showed a series of glass sculptures embedded with very small diamonds. The ...

Researchers discovered that instead of high-temperature annealing, growing an extra epilayer of diamond atop the substrate after ion implantation is enough to turn the damaged layer graphite-like.
