Using atomic-scale defects in diamond, researchers in China have gained unprecedented insights into the complex chemical ...

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

Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear defects can propagate through a material faster than sound waves do. These linear defects, or dislocations, are what ...

At Rice University, a research lab's signature keepsake has helped perfect a method for growing patterned diamond surfaces ...

Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon ...

An unexpected discovery surprised a scientist: nanometer-sized diamond particles, which were intended for a completely different purpose, shone brightly in a magnetic resonance imaging experiment -- ...

The Earth needs to chill and showering it in bling could be the way to do it. Scientists are interested in depositing diamond dust into the atmosphere in order to reflect sunlight and cool down the ...

Illustration of an intense laser pulse hitting a diamond crystal from top right, driving elastic and plastic waves (curved lines) through the material. The laser pulse creates linear defects, known as ...
