Diamond stands up to a squeeze. Surprisingly, the material’s structure persists even when compressed to 2 trillion pascals, more than five times the pressure in Earth’s core, scientists report January ...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and coatings are a unique class of amorphous carbon materials that combine properties reminiscent of both diamond and graphite. With a high fraction of sp³-bonded ...

A glow-in-the dark, magnetic, stronger-than-diamond material might be a bizarre new form of carbon. Scientists call it Q-carbon. After diamond and graphite, it’s the third known solid phase, or form, ...

New research from a team of scientists led by Drs. Kuo Li and Haiyan Zheng from Center for High Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research (HPSTAR) reported the first synthesize of a ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers, led by Distinguished Professor Rodney S. Ruoff (Department of Chemistry) from the Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials (CMCM), within the ...

As much mystique as they've been given by companies with vested interest, diamonds are little more than lumps of carbon. In science applications, diamond is useful as a tough protective coating and ...

Researchers have constructed microscopic carbon structures that boast the best combination of strength and elasticity of any material studied to date (Nat. Nanotechnol. 2019, DOI: ...
