At high temperatures and pressures, molten carbon has two options. It can crystallize into diamond and become one of the ...

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

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 ...

The structure, an interlocking form of graphite and diamond, has unique properties that could one day be used to develop superfast charging or new types of electronics, researchers say.

Rare diamonds found in meteorites called ureilites have a folded hexagonal structure. Learning the process of how they were formed could inspire better lab-grown diamonds.

Through the simulations, the team also revealed the molecular structures of liquid carbon as it crystallized into graphite and then, separately, as liquid carbon crystallized into diamond.
