Diamonds have a reputation as one of the hardest materials known to man, which is undoubtedly true, but they're not as tough as you think they are.

Keeping gender equality in mind, the Wanda Diamond League has decided to allocate an equal payout for all genders competing throughout the event. $9.24 million will be offered in prize money (the ...

Diamond's remarkable ability stems from its structure. The atoms in diamond are bonded very tightly together in a covalent structure, which is the strongest type of bond we know.

That's why our diamond can survive various nanofabrication processes. It differentiates our process from simple placement of diamond on top of another material.” In diamonds, each carbon atom shares ...

Supramolecular Chemistry has refined our understanding of non-covalent interactions to a level that enables the bottom-up chemical synthesis of complex nano-structures, based on the spontaneous ...

Diamond as a semiconductor Though its hardness has long made diamond a popular gemstone for jewelry, the stone’s unusual electrical characteristics have long made it an attractive prospect for use as ...

Why is diamond so strong? Diamond is made up of a network of carbon atoms that each form four strong covalent bonds. The strong bonds take a lot of energy to break, so diamond has a high melting and ...

Figure 1. This multi-step treated 1.62 ct Fancy pink natural diamond shows what appears to be HPHT synthetic growth structure. Photo by Sood Oil (Judy) Chia. HPHT synthetic diamonds are grown using ...

Dislocation core structure, well established in metals, is less explored in covalent materials due to the challenges in deformation and characterization, given their extremely hard and brittle ...
