Diamonds have charmed high-pressure scientists. Now, a new suitor is pressing for affection. A synthetic crystal called moissanite has squeezed in on diamond’s role as the jaws of a powerful ...

Researchers have squeezed diamonds to a record-setting pressure — 14 times as high as that inside Earth’s core. The compressed diamond’s properties could reveal the extreme conditions deep inside ...

Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have looked for ways to determine how the properties of electronic and optical materials can be harnessed to develop ultrasensitive sensors for ...

Forget Billions of Years: Scientists Have Grown Diamonds in Just 150 Minutes : ScienceAlert https://www.sciencealert.com/forget-billions-of-years-scientists-have ...

“We have achieved 75 percent of the pressure found at the center of the Earth, or 264 gigapascals, using lab-grown nanocrystalline-diamond micro-anvil,” said Yogesh Vohra, Ph.D., a professor and ...

The glittering diamonds sparkle the same but there are key differences: Mined natural gems are more than a billion years old, while laboratory-made rocks are new and cost less than half the price. Man ...

Diamonds are a scientist's best friend, at least for studying atmospheric pressure on the outer planets, like Pluto. Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have teamed up with Maryland-based WD Lab ...
