Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...
We utilize extreme pressure and high-temperature environments to attempt the scientific conversion of ordinary pencil ...
In brief: Chinese researchers have developed a synthetic diamond that is significantly harder and more resilient than those that occur naturally here on Earth. If commercially viable, the new diamond ...
The graphite-diamond phase transition is of particular interest for fundamental reasons and a wide range of applications. In new experiments, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists ...
Friction between amorphous carbon surfaces transforms wear debris into diamond and graphene while maintaining exceptionally ...
