Beam-driven wakefield acceleration approaches are promising candidates for future large-scale machines, including X-ray free electron lasers and linear colliders, as they have the potential to…
When it comes to the semiconductor industry, silicon has reigned as king in the electronics field, but it is coming to the end of its…
Natural diamonds can form through low pressure and temperature geological processes on Earth, as stated in an article published in the journal Geochemical Perspectives Letters….
An international team of scientists has defied nature to make diamonds in minutes in a laboratory at room temperature — a process that normally requires…
Diamond could conduct electricity like metals when it is deformed to strains at the nanoscale, according to predictions from a study by an international team…
The discovery of triplet spin superconductivity in diamonds has the potential to revolutionize the high-tech industry. Diamonds have a firm foothold in our lexicon. Their…
Normally an insulator, diamond becomes a metallic conductor when subjected to large strain in a new theoretical model. Long known as the hardest of all…
Uncovering New Understanding of Earth’s Carbon Cycle University of Alberta PhD student authors paper shedding new light on Earth’s deepest mechanisms using information from diamonds….
International research team solves theory of how diamonds formed inside protoplanets. Geoscientists from Goethe University have found the largest extraterrestrial diamonds ever discovered – a…
An analysis of the first large diamonds confirmed to come from deep under the Earth’s surface supports initial predictions showing that the Smithsonian’s famous Hope…
With the right amount of pressure and surprisingly little heat, a substance found in fossil fuels can transform into pure diamond. It sounds like alchemy:…
A team of Australian scientists has discovered diamond can be bent and deformed, creating possibilities for the design and engineering of new nanoscale devices. Diamond…
A study identifies dozens of new carbon structures that are expected to be superhard, including some that may be about as hard as diamonds. Superhard…
New study shows that 1–2 percent of Earth’s oldest mantle rocks are made from diamond. There may be more than a quadrillion tons of diamond…
For decades, astronomers have puzzled over the exact source of a peculiar type of faint microwave light emanating from a number of regions across the…
Diamond is well-known as the strongest of all natural materials, and with that strength comes another tightly linked property: brittleness. But now, an international team…
Fragments of a meteorite that fell to Earth more than a decade ago provide compelling evidence of a lost planet that once roamed our solar…
A UNLV scientist has discovered the first direct evidence that fluid water pockets may exist as far as 500 miles deep into the Earth’s mantle….
