The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

The researchers at TU Delft have pioneered the fabrication of high-performance diamond-based microsensors using direct inkjet printing. By replacing standard ink in a commercial printer with diamond ...

Simple bending of diamond nanoneedles can reversibly convert diamond from an electrical insulator to a metal-like conductor, a study finds.

Right now, a lot of what we do in synthetic diamond photonics is highly probabilistic – for example, in terms of sample purity, the formation of defects, the exact location of those defects and the ...
