Molecular simulations uncover how graphite emerges where diamond should form, challenging old assumptions
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. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...
Two diamonds from South Africa’s Voorspoed mine provide a rare direct insight into the chemistry of Earth’s mantle. Although diamonds can be formed in multiple ways, the findings add to evidence ...
A pair of diamonds that formed hundreds of kilometers deep in Earth's malleable mantle both contain specks of materials that form in completely opposing chemical environments — a combination so ...
