Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...

The elements of the periodic table are the building blocks of everything around us. All matter is composed of at least one element or a combination of two or more elements. The elements make up the ...

Volt Carbon produced a graphite concentrate blend specifically developed for diamond synthesis. Using the high pressure-high temperature (HPHT) method, this graphite was converted into synthetic ...

It is hard to imagine that graphite, the soft "lead" of pencils, can be transformed into a form that competes in strength with its molecular cousin diamond. It is hard to imagine that graphite, the ...

Since graphite—the dark material used in regular old pencils—and diamonds are both made from carbon, it’s technically feasible to turn the former into the latter. You just need to apply a little ...

Scientists have for the first time turned diamond into graphite using ultra-short flashes of an X-ray laser. (Image: Reuters) Scientists have for the first time turned diamond into graphite using ...

In brief: Chinese researchers have developed a synthetic diamond that is significantly harder and more resilient than those that occur naturally here on Earth. If commercially viable, the new diamond ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the difference? Researchers are finding out. How molten carbon crystallizes into ...

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2024) - Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) ("Volt Carbon" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the successful synthesis of ...
