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 ...
A new technique uses a pulsing laser to create synthetic nanodiamond films and patterns from graphite, with potential applications from biosensors to computer chips. “The biggest advantage is that you ...
Crystallization in progress: 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 ...
