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 ...

Miriam Rossi, a professor of chemistry at Vassar College, provides the following explanation: Both diamond and graphite are made entirely out of carbon, as is the more recently discovered ...

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, ...

Carbon can exist in a form halfway between graphite and diamond, say researchers in China and the United States. And they believe this stuff is as hard as diamond itself. Yanming Ma of Jilin ...

Carbon is the fourth-most-abundant element in the universe and takes on a wide variety of forms, called allotropes, including diamond and graphite. Scientists have now discovered a new form of carbon, ...

Pressure makes diamonds, but according to recent findings, there may also be a much quicker, hassle-free way. A team of researchers at Stanford University has stumbled upon a new way of turning ...

THE prospect of making materials so hard they can dent diamond has come a step closer with insight into the structure of a new form of superhard graphite. In 2003, an experiment suggested that ...

Converting graphite into diamond has been a long held dream of alchemists the world over. In the modern era, materials scientists have puzzled over this process because it’s hard to work out why the ...
