Rice University researchers have developed a way to stabilize diamond during high-temperature and low-pressure processing, creating a strong bulk composite and discovering that high-speed collisions can rapidly transform diamond into graphite. Their study is published in Materials Today. Diamond is one of the hardest known materials, with high thermal conductivity, properties that make it valuable […]
