Technology has allowed man-made diamonds to become so similar to mined diamonds that the stones are finding their way into the market, for better or worse, with some budget-conscious shoppers requesting them as a cheaper alternative.
Element Six has been working with a team led by Ronald Hanson at the Delft University of Technology, which has demonstrated some amazing fundamental science using our diamond.
Australian researchers have discovered how to make a special kind of diamond that is harder than the regular variety — and otherwise only found where meteorites have hit the Earth.
Scientists have been gradually improving on that toughness over the past few years, and now a team of Australian researchers has just created a rare type of diamond that's even harder than diamond.
De Beers,the world’s largest diamond supplier,reports that business has slowed since the Indian government pulled R500- and Rs1,000-denomination notes out of circulation.It’s another unintended effect of the demonetization,which is meant to weed out count
Technology has allowed man-made diamonds to become so similar to mined diamonds that they’re working their way into the jewelry market, for better or worse, with some budget-conscious shoppers requesting them as a cheaper alternative.
The Australian Researchers have created a type of diamond that is the toughest known to mankind till date. The Australian National University has created Lonsdaleite that is tough enough to cut through the other solid materials found on earth.
Of the strongest materials known to man, Lonsdaleite seems to be near the top of the list. It sets itself apart from typical diamonds found in nature through its hexagonal structural composition.
How do you cut through hard materials? How about a diamond useful for cutting through hard materials? New synthetic diamond is predicted to be harder than a jeweler’s diamond. This is very exiting.
Jewelers are noticing a change in that blind devotion toward the gemstone in its natural form. Technology has allowed man-made diamonds to become so similar to mined diamonds that they’re working their way into the jewelry market.
Surat: Uncertainity looms large over the world's largest diamond cutting and polishing industry in Surat following the scrapping of the old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency note by the government.
“By encapsulating radioactive material inside diamonds, we turn a long-term problem of nuclear waste into a nuclear-powered battery and a long-term supply of clean energy.”
Global diamond mining and trading major De Beers Group on Tuesday unveiled a newly expanded diamond-grading and testing centre by its arm, International Institute of Diamond Grading and Research (IIDGR), here, with an investment of $5 million
The volume of conflict diamonds entering the market is currently less than 0.2% of global turnover, notes Blom, adding that, when the issue of diamonds being mined illegally in conflict zones came to international prominence in the early 2000s
Diamonds hold a fascinating — and largely manufactured – appeal for humans: They’re sparkly; they’re very hard; and they’re, as the ads like to tell us, forever.Unfortunately, diamonds are also associated with terrible environmental practices...
Lab-grown diamonds command about 1 percent of the global market today. But investment firms predict that market share could rise to as much as 15 percent in the next few years.
The companies that make synthetic diamonds pitch them as an ethical, conflict-free, and frequently cheaper alternative to diamonds produced the old-fashioned way—letting the Earth's mantle provide the pressure and temperature over time
Zhengzhou University provides important technical support to the high-tech research and development of superhard materials in Zhecheng. The signing opens a new chapter of Zhecheng cooperating with Zhengzhou University.
However, one challenge has been finding a suitable support material. Simply placing graphene on top of an insulator, like silicon dioxide,can degrade its properties,whereas growing it directly on a substrate,such as silicon carbide,can introduce defects.
At present, new diamond tools are emerging due to the rapid development of the diamond industry, and some of them have surpassed the traditional cemented carbide tools in performance.
