The team also includes researchers at RMIT University and their results provide strong evidence for how this form of diamond can form in nature, and potentially even be created for industrial ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a rare type of diamond, known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond. This material, ...

In nature, diamonds form deep in the Earth over billions of years. This process requires environments with exceptionally high pressure and temperatures exceeding 1,000℃. Our international team ...

Meteorite diamonds, which could be 58% harder than ordinary diamonds, have finally been made in the lab. Scientists have ...

In nature, diamonds form in geologic crucibles where pressure can be 50,000 times higher than at sea level. Temperatures soar to over 1,500˚C.

The diamondoids could also form black agglomerations of tiny diamond crystals called carbonados, say Dahl and colleagues.

Diamonds Unearthed In the first installment of a multi-part series, Smithsonian diamond expert Jeffrey Post explains how the rare crystals form ...

Scientists have already found ways to produce diamonds that are harder, tougher or more stable than those made by nature (diamonds form when carbon is compressed deep in Earth’s mantle).

The world’s largest source of natural diamonds — and of more than 90 percent of all natural pink diamonds found so far — may have formed due to the breakup of Earth’s first supercontinent ...
