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 ...
Discuss the implication of growing diamonds: In the NOVA scienceNOW video segment, Neil visits a "diamond farm"—a secret location where the diamonds are "chemically, physically, and optically ...

Molecular simulations uncover how graphite emerges where diamond should form, challenging old assumptions
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. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
The formation of diamond after applying pressure and heat on graphite is highly relevant to the artificial synthesis of diamond 1,2,3,4, and also for a general understanding of high pressure phase ...
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, ...
Scientists have been playing with pure carbon compounds for centuries, starting with diamond and graphite and now with fullerenes, nanotubes and graphene. One type of 3D geometry has been missing, ...
