  • Diamond Valley? Silicon semiconductors face a run for their money March 28, 2024 7:11 am Tech.eu Grenoble-based Diamfab has raised €8.7M in funding for a pilot programme demonstrating semiconductors made using their wafer-thin diamond instead of silicon. Diamfab plans for these semiconductors to form the foundation of chips used in the automotive, …
  • Unveiling the path to creating super-diamond March 23, 2024 3:26 pm Tech Explorist Because of its extraordinarily strong carbon-carbon bond, diamonds have extraordinary physical qualities that make them extremely resilient to structural changes, even at very high pressures and temperatures. Synthesis and recovery of the theoretically …
  • Diamond Is About to Be Dethroned As the Hardest Material Ever March 22, 2024 4:43 pm Popular Mechanics Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth, but that may not necessarily be true on carbon-rich exoplanets where certain temperature and pressure conditions create an ultra-dense form of carbon called eight-atom body-centered cubic, or BC8. …
  • Quantum Weirdness in New Strange Metals Bends the Rules of Physics March 19, 2024 6:57 pm Scientific American Copper, platinum, aluminum, gold. Metals have been so important in human history that we’ve named historical epochs (the Bronze Age, the Iron Age) for their transformative power. These materials, with their characteristic ability to conduct electricity, …
  • Supercomputers Crack the Code of Super-Diamond Synthesis March 19, 2024 11:01 am SciTechDaily Supercomputer simulations predicting the synthesis pathways for the elusive BC8 “super-diamond”, involving shock compressions of diamond precursor, inspire ongoing Discovery Science experiments at NIF.

  • Diamond Can Be Squeezed Into Something Even Harder. Now We Know How to Do It. March 19, 2024 6:21 am Science Alert Simulations of an elusive carbon molecule that leaves diamonds in the dust for hardness may pave the way to creating it in a lab. Known as the eight-atom body-centered cubic (BC8) phase, the configuration is expected to be up to 30 percent more resistant …
  • Supercomputer simulations of super-diamond suggest a path to its creation March 18, 2024 8:00 pm Phys.org Diamond is the strongest material known. However, another form of carbon has been predicted to be even tougher than diamond. The challenge is how to create it on Earth. The eight-atom body-centered cubic (BC8) crystal is a distinct carbon phase: not …
