Physicists have taken a gemstone better known for engagement rings and turned it into a laboratory for one of the strangest ideas in modern physics, a phase of matter that repeats in time instead of ...
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 ...
Investment from BBSRC will secure a state-of-the-art, ultra-fast X-ray integrating detector for probing very fast processes within proteins and other macromolecules Part of the BBSRC ALERT programme ...
An unexpected discovery surprised a scientist: nanometer-sized diamond particles, which were intended for a completely different purpose, shone brightly in a magnetic resonance imaging experiment -- ...
The Earth needs to chill and showering it in bling could be the way to do it. Scientists are interested in depositing diamond dust into the atmosphere in order to reflect sunlight and cool down the ...

Why Neptune could have diamond oceans
The enigmatic allure of Neptune has long captivated astronomers and scientists alike, with recent studies suggesting the possibility of vast oceans of liquid diamond beneath its surface. This ...
Illustration of an intense laser pulse hitting a diamond crystal from top right, driving elastic and plastic waves (curved lines) through the material. The laser pulse creates linear defects, known as ...
