The high-quality, single crystal diamond made possible by the new process has a wide variety of applications in science and technology, such as the use of diamond crystals as anvils in high-pressure ...

Researchers at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory have learned to produce 10-carat, half-inch thick single-crystal diamonds at rapid growth rates (100 micrometers per hour) using a ...

Element Six’s chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) synthetic-diamond windows enable a range of optical applications such as high-power CO₂ lasers and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. CVD diamond has ...

Real, or natural, in the vernacular of diamonds, isn't always better. While the specter of conflict or "blood" diamonds has largely faded in recent years, thanks to ethical mining practices, ...
