An Underground Ocean? Scientists Discover Water Deep Within Earth
An international research team led by a Goethe University professor analyzes diamond inclusions. The boundary layer between the upper and lower mantles of the Earth…
Diamonds are cubic hexoctahedral crystals made purely of Carbon. They have the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural material and can show pressure in geological processes as well as be used to create lasers in their nano form. Find out the many ways scientists take advantage of the properties of this expensive mineral at SciTechDaily.com.

A research team utilizes laser flashes to replicate the interior of ice planets, which inspires a new method of creating tiny diamonds. What transpires inside…
Researchers find rust and diamonds at the Earth’s core-mantle boundary. On the Earth’s surface, steel rusts due to water and air. But what about deep…
Strange diamonds from an ancient dwarf planet in our solar system may have formed shortly after the dwarf planet collided with a large asteroid about…
A physical chemist and a diverse group of his students are working on applications with nanoscopic diamonds. Diamonds represent so much more to Abraham Wolcott…
Nanodiamonds may be tiny, but they can help with one of the biggest problems facing humanity today: Climate change. Hydrogen, a clean-burning fuel, leaves nothing…
There might be a quadrillion tons of diamonds 100 miles below Earth’s surface. But the farthest we’ve traveled is 7 miles down, so how could…
MIT researchers develop a new way to control and measure energy levels in a diamond crystal; could improve qubits in quantum computers. Physicists and engineers…
A unique study of ancient diamonds has shown that the basic chemical composition of the Earth’s atmosphere which makes it suitable for life’s explosion of…
Popigai is one of the largest and most well-preserved impact craters on Earth. About 36 million years ago, an asteroid slammed into northern Siberia and…
Diamonds are sometimes described as messengers from the deep earth; scientists study them closely for insights into the otherwise inaccessible depths from which they come….
Findings allow us to trace how minerals from the surface are drawn down into the mantle. Diamonds that formed deep in the Earth’s mantle contain…
Nature’s strongest material now has some stiff competition. For the first time, researchers have hard evidence that human-made hexagonal diamonds are stiffer than the common…
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…
