The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the difference? Researchers are finding out.How molten carbon crystallizes into ...

The film discusses the significance of carbon, highlighting its presence in 90% of known compounds and its various forms, such as diamond and graphite. It explains the atomic structure of carbon ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a rare type of diamond, known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond. This material, ...

Meteorite diamonds, which could be 58% harder than ordinary diamonds, have finally been made in the lab. Scientists have ...

The structure, an interlocking form of graphite and diamond, has unique properties that could one day be used to develop superfast charging or new types of electronics, researchers say.

Plus, the samples contain interlocking layers of lonsdaleite, cubic diamond and graphite in a pattern that points to the fluid-driven transformation Tomkins’s team describes.

Rare diamonds found in meteorites called ureilites have a folded hexagonal structure. Learning the process of how they were formed could inspire better lab-grown diamonds.

Strange Hexagonal Diamonds Crashed To Earth From Ancient Dwarf Planet Four meteorites found in north-west Africa contain diamonds harder than any from Earth.

Through the simulations, the team also revealed the molecular structures of liquid carbon as it crystallized into graphite and then, separately, as liquid carbon crystallized into diamond.
