Big deal..diamonds...I dont care if they find a cure for COVID19 in Australia...I'm not going there.

Let me guess. Does it cost more to make the artificial diamonds than the artificial diamonds are worth as diamonds?

We think this allows the carbon atoms to move into place forming both lonsdaleite and regular diamonds, like those found on engagement rings.

Strictly speaking, EVERYthing is made up of atoms. So, ANYthing can be turned into diamonds it would seem, no?

The price of diamonds is about to drop.

The billion-year wait for the perfect sparkler is over after an Australian-led scientific team discovered how to make diamonds in minutes.

But it's not "gem quality"? Oy vey.

Expect the lead researcher to mysteriously die from a mundane accident and all the research notes to go missing.

Big difference between industrial diamonds and the sparklers on an engagement ring.

“The next challenge for us is to lower the pressure required to form the diamonds.
In our research, the lowest pressure at room temperature where diamonds were observed to have formed was 80 gigapascals. This is the equivalent of 640 African elephants on the tip of one ballet shoe!”
