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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

In 1967, a hexagonal form of diamond, later named lonsdaleite, was identified for the first time inside fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite, the asteroid that created the Barringer Crater in ...

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 ...

Recent astronomical discoveries have captivated the world with the revelation of a planet composed entirely of diamonds. This dazzling celestial body, located light-years away from Earth, challenges ...

The solar system’s smallest planet may have vast riches beneath its surface, according to a stunning discovery by a NASA spacecraft. Scientists have determined that Mercury, the closest planet to the ...

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 ...
