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, ...

Crystallization in progress: 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 ...

Miriam Rossi, a professor of chemistry at Vassar College, provides the following explanation: Both diamond and graphite are made entirely out of carbon, as is the more recently discovered ...

The formation of diamond after applying pressure and heat on graphite is highly relevant to the artificial synthesis of diamond 1,2,3,4, and also for a general understanding of high pressure phase ...

Pressure makes diamonds, but according to recent findings, there may also be a much quicker, hassle-free way. A team of researchers at Stanford University has stumbled upon a new way of turning ...
