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 ...

Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...

Friction between amorphous carbon surfaces transforms wear debris into diamond and graphene while maintaining exceptionally ...

We utilize extreme pressure and high-temperature environments to attempt the scientific conversion of ordinary pencil ...

The graphite-diamond phase transition is of particular interest for fundamental reasons and a wide range of applications. In new experiments, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists ...

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 ...

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2024) - Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) ("Volt Carbon" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the successful synthesis of ...

Waste graphite from nuclear plants could be used in cutting-edge diamond batteries. The graphite is used to harvest radioactive carbon, which, in diamond form, generates a low electrical current. The ...
