Scientists have for the first time turned diamond into graphite using ultra-short flashes of an X-ray laser. (Image: Reuters) Scientists have for the first time turned diamond into graphite using ...

Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

A team of researchers has for the first time observed and recorded the creation of hexagonal diamond under shock compression, revealing crucial details about how it is formed. The discovery could help ...

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 team of physicists at Yale University found that graphite, another form of carbon, becomes diamond-like under cold-compression to form a new product called M-carbon. M-carbon engagement rings, ...

Converting graphite into diamond has been a long held dream of alchemists the world over. In the modern era, materials scientists have puzzled over this process because it’s hard to work out why the ...
