Graphene is already known for being incredibly strong, despite being just one atom thick. So how can it be made even stronger? By turning it into sheets of diamond, of course. Researchers in South ...

While studying diamonds inside an ancient meteorite, scientists have found a strange, interwoven microscopic structure that has never been seen before. The structure, an interlocking form of graphite ...

A glow-in-the dark, magnetic, stronger-than-diamond material might be a bizarre new form of carbon. Scientists call it Q-carbon. After diamond and graphite, it’s the third known solid phase, or form, ...
