Diamonds can now be created from scratch in the lab in 15 minutes
Scientists have revolutionized diamond synthesis with a groundbreaking method that creates diamonds at room temperature and pressure.
In the pursuit of innovation, a group of scientists has achieved something remarkable: they’ve found a way to create “real” diamonds at normal room temperature and pressure. The new technique, developed by a team led by Rodney Ruoff, a physical chemist at the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea, eliminates some of the disadvantages of the above-mentioned synthesis processes. While gallium may sound exotic, it was actually chosen based on a previous unrelated study that identified its ability to catalyze the formation of graphene, a carbon cousin to diamond.
