Researchers showcased a new method for generating single photons in a diamond-based quantum system. This progress brings ...

Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its ...

Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear defects can propagate through a material faster than sound waves do. These linear defects, or dislocations, are what ...

Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. Using DNA origami, LMU ...

For centuries, diamond has been the reigning champion of hardness on Earth. However, a recent breakthrough in material science has led to the synthesis of a new substance, predicted to be 50 percent ...
