Synthetic Hexagonal Diamond Surpasses Natural Diamonds in Hardness and Stability
Scientists have successfully created a synthetic diamond with a hexagonal lattice, making it harder than natural diamonds. Developed using a process involving high-pressure heating of graphene, this diamond withstands up to 155 GPa and 1,100 degree Celsius, far exceeding the durability of natural diamonds. While unsuitable for jewellery, it holds p...

India-UK Team Proposes Experiment to Test Quantum Behaviour of Gravity with Diamond Crystals
An India-UK physics team led by Professor Sougato Bose from UCL has proposed a ground-breaking experiment to determine if gravity follows quantum mechanics, like other fundamental forces. Using a table-top setup, they aim to measure gravitational interactions between two nanodiamonds. The study, requiring cutting-edge technology, could take 10-15 y...

Could Sprinkling Diamond Dust in the Atmosphere Help Reverse Global Warming?
Researchers have explored a potential solution for reversing global warming: dispersing diamond dust in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat reaching Earth. Though diamond dust emerged as a promising option due to its reflectivity and inert nature, the cost of implementing this solution globally would be incredibly high – approximat...
