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 ...

Mineral scale inside pipes is one of those hidden problems that quietly drains money and energy from industrial systems, municipal utilities, and home infrastructure. Now a new generation of lab-grown ...

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 ...

Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. Using DNA origami, LMU ...

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 ...

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 ...
