A paper has solved a major hurdle facing researchers working with diamond by creating a novel way of bonding diamonds directly to materials that integrate easily with either quantum or conventional ...

Carbon, one of the most versatile elements known, occurs in a multitude of allotropes that exhibit a wide array of physical and chemical properties. The diversity of carbon’s bonding—ranging from sp² ...

Diamond, one of the hardest known materials, could have a rival. A new form of carbon that is just as hard as the gemstone but as light as pencil graphite could theoretically be used for applications ...

A new paper from the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering’s High Lab and Argonne National Laboratory shows a novel way of bonding diamonds directly to materials that integrate easily with ...
