Diamonds are one of the most coveted naturally available substances on this planet. It takes billions of years for them to form deep in the Earth and this process requires extreme pressure and temperature. Only when these conditions are met that carbon turns into a diamond. However recently, an international team of researchers has created diamonds without any added heat and is probably the first time such a result had been obtained.
The normal process of diamond formation is hard to recreate in itself . The scientists were reportedly able to make the diamonds in a matter of minutes. There is more than one kind of diamond. As these materials are classified based on the bonds between the carbon atoms, there are more than one carbon-based substances that have a diamond-like bonding. In diamond, carbon is arranged in a cubic crystalline structure whereas there is another kind where the atoms are arranged in a hexagonal crystalline structure. It is called....
