This illustration depicts a new technique that uses a pulsing laser to create synthetic nanodiamond films and patterns from graphite, with potential applications from biosensors to computer chips.

(Nanowerk News) University of Arkansas physicists have found a way to systematically study and control the transition of graphite, the “lead” found in pencils, to graphene, one of the strongest, ...

Volt Carbon produced a graphite concentrate blend specifically developed for diamond synthesis. Using the high pressure-high temperature (HPHT) method, this graphite was converted into synthetic ...

(Nanowerk News) A group of scientists from Osaka University, in cooperation with Kaneka Corporation, evaluated the interplanar bond strength of graphene by measuring the elastic constant of graphite, ...
