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 has ...

Black diamonds found in the Gulf of Mexico might have been formed from crude oil, say researchers 1. These diamonds are unlikely to be a girl's best friend. They contain just a few dozen carbon atoms, ...

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, researchers ...

Researchers at Diamond Light Source have used advanced imaging to look at microscopic crystals, called nanolites, to see what ...

An international team of scientists has defied nature to make diamonds in minutes in a laboratory at room temperature - a process that normally requires billions of years, huge amounts of pressure and ...

They don’t make them like they used to — at all. It can take natural diamonds over three billion years to grow, but researchers in a South Korean lab have successfully fabricated the precious stones ...

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but they’re also prized by oil drillers, road crews and experimental physicists for their unparalleled ability to bore, grind and cut. Now scientists have ...
