Diamonds form deep within the Earth's mantle, around 250 kilometers below the surface, where immense pressure (up to 10 GPa) and temperatures (around 2,200 °C) compress carbon into diamonds over ...

Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new ...

With more and more functionality being packed into an analog IC, and even the desire to incorporate power elements (MOSFETs, IGBTs, etc.) onto the die, we need to start thinking outside the box for ...
