How a pencil lead turned into a gem Researchers crafted lonsdaleite by pressing graphite to about 300,000 atmospheres. This pressure equals over four million pounds per square inch. “The newly ...

It used to take the Earth 3 billion years, 2,000-degree temperatures, a little carbon and a lot of pressure to grow a diamond. Now, a new machine can do it in five days.

Planet Mercury is scorched and easy to overlook, yet the innermost planet keeps tossing cosmic curveballs. Now researchers suggest an even wilder twist: a layer of diamond roughly 10 miles thick may ...

Diamond is a carbon allotrope, meaning it’s a type of carbon that exists in another form due to its environment (in this case, a lot of time and pressure). Charcoal and graphite are also ...
