Diamonds are beautiful gemstones, which thanks to their shimmering sparkle and transparency look great in jewelry, but rough diamonds are much more interesting from a scientific point of view. The ...

The process creates a buried layer in the diamond substrate where the crystalline lattice has been disrupted. That damaged layer effectively acts like a seam: Through high-temperature annealing, it ...

Illustration of the laser-induced transformation of diamond into planar-oriented graphite, with interfacial thermal stress control, followed by mechanical cleavage into graphene, ultimately achieving ...

Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) enables the growth of polycrystalline diamond films on hardmetal substrates such as cobalt-bonded tungsten carbide (WC-Co). These coatings combine diamond’s ...

A thin diamond film encapsulates gold nanoparticles into a reusable SERS substrate that survives acid, abrasion, and months of storage without losing sensitivity. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Every molecule ...

(Nanowerk News) Synthetic diamond is durable, inert, rigid, thermally conductive and chemically well-behaved – an elite material for both quantum and conventional electronics. But there’s one problem.

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that in collaboration with the Research Center for Ubiquitous MEMS and Micro Engineering, National Institute of ...
