Gas-jet deposition has emerged as a highly promising technique for the synthesis of diamond structures, employing high-velocity gas streams to activate and transport precursor species under controlled ...

Carbon comes in many different structures, most famously graphite and diamond. Other forms were predicted to exist at extremely high pressures, but now researchers have examined carbon under the ...

Even with the weight of worlds on its shoulders, diamond resolutely refuses to buckle under the pressure. Thanks to the highest-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments ever reported, researchers have ...

A new form of diamond has been created. Its unique structure gives it properties that are similar to those of natural diamonds, but it is more stable under extreme heat, so may be useful in tools that ...
