Physicists have successfully created a lab-grown diamond with a hardness exceeding that of natural diamonds. By subjecting ...

This new diamond battery acts like a kind of solar panel ... (the time it takes for half of its atomic nuclei to decay into ...

Scientists encased nanodiamonds in tiny moving droplets of water to improve quantum sensing. The new technique lets researchers detect trace amounts of certain ions and molecules, and could someday ...

Chinese scientists have created an artificial “super diamond” much greater in hardness ... a cubic lattice – or arrangement of their carbon atoms – but a hexagonal crystal structure ...

Carbon atoms move around the planet in a process ... or allotropes, including graphene, diamond, nanotubes, and fullerenes or "buckyballs." Each form has attributes that make it excel at certain ...

Carbon atoms are arranged in a regular pattern, meaning carbon is solid at room temperature. Diamond is transparent. It can be cut into shapes that sparkle for jewellery. It is also extremely hard ...
