Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

“These findings resolve the long-standing controversy on the existence of hexagonal diamond,” researchers said.

Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon composed of carbon atom layers stacked on top of each other. These layers are loosely bonded, allowing them to slide past one another and giving ...

Exposing graphite to an intense ultrashort mid-infrared laser pulse induces a highly conductive light-matter hybrid phase as optically excited electrons strongly couple to coherent optical phonons.

A pulsed thermal shock technique produces micron-thick flexible graphite films ten times faster than conventional methods without sacrificing crystalline quality or thermal performance.
