Diamond stands up to a squeeze. Surprisingly, the material’s structure persists even when compressed to 2 trillion pascals, more than five times the pressure in Earth’s core, scientists report January ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sure, diamonds are shiny and sparkly, but their beauty may ultimately come from their unique crystal structure, one mathematician says. Toshikazu Sunada, of Japan's Meiji University, conducted a ...
