Even with the weight of worlds on its shoulders, diamond resolutely refuses to buckle under the pressure. Thanks to the highest-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments ever reported, researchers have ...

Diamond stands up to a squeeze. Surprisingly, the material’s structure persists even when compressed to 2 trillion pascals, more than five times the pressure in Earth’s core, scientists report January ...

A nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a flaw in the diamond crystal structure that occurs when an adjacent lattice site becomes unoccupied and a nitrogen atom takes the place of a carbon atom. Researchers ...
