A new manufacturing technique developed at Rice University stabilizes diamond during thermal processing at low pressures, resulting in a dense, resilient composite material. The research, published in ...

Rice University researchers have developed a way to stabilize diamond during high-temperature and low-pressure processing, creating a strong bulk composite and discovering that high-speed collisions ...

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2024) - Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) ("Volt Carbon" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the successful synthesis of ...

Can copper be turned into gold? For centuries, alchemists pursued this dream, unaware that such a transformation requires a nuclear reaction. In contrast, graphite—the material found in pencil ...

Diamond is celebrated as one of the hardest materials known, but new research shows that even its famously rigid structure can be dramatically altered by an impact travelling at hypersonic speed.

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 ...

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 ...

A treasure trove of diamonds may be sown into Mercury’s cratered crust. Billions of years of meteorite impacts may have flash-baked much of Mercury’s surface into the glittery gemstones, planetary ...
