We created diamonds in mere minutes, without heat — by mimicking the force of an asteroid collision – The Conversation AU
Our research marks the first case of both normal diamonds, as well as Londaleite, being produced in a lab setting using only intense pressure.
In nature, diamonds form deep in the Earth over billions of years. This process requires environments with exceptionally high pressure and temperatures exceeding 1,000.
Our international team has created two different types of diamond at room temperature and in a matter of minutes. Its the first time diamonds have successfully been produced in a lab without added heat.
Our findings are published in the journal Small.
