Scientists have debated its existence. Tiny traces provided clues. Now, researchers have confirmed the existence of a celestial diamond after finding it on Earth's surface. The stone, called ...

Physicists have successfully created a lab-grown diamond with a hardness exceeding that of natural diamonds. By subjecting graphite to extreme pressure and heat, researchers synthesized a rare ...

Thank you to Wondrium for sponsoring today’s video! Diamonds are known as the hardest naturally-occurring mineral on Earth, ...

In 1967, a hexagonal form of diamond, later named lonsdaleite, was identified for the first time inside fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite, the asteroid that created the Barringer Crater in ...

Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring material on Earth, but a supercomputer just modeled stuff that’s even harder. Called a ‘super-diamond,’ the theoretical material could exist beyond our ...

Chinese scientists have created an artificial “super diamond” much greater in hardness than real ones, an advance that could lead to breakthroughs across several key industries that rely on the ...

Frontiers of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism: view from field and laboratory / Larissa F. Dobrzhinetskaya and Shah Wali Faryad -- Part I. Diamonds--new studies -- Diamond--lonsdaleite--graphite ...

The RMIT team's pictures showed that the regular diamonds only form in the middle of these Lonsdaleite veins under this new method developed by the cross-institutional team. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...
