Each of these crystals, each diamond, one carat diamond, represents literally billions and billions of carbon atoms that all had to lock into place to form this very orderly crystalline structure.

Friction between individual atoms on the surface causes them to vibrate and thus dissipate energy. While the molecular details ... and a single crystalline diamond or silicon surface.

Using “multi-million molecular ... of diamond at extreme pressures. This was achieved largely in part due to improvements to understanding the interactions between atoms with quantum accuracy ...

There is no doubt; tequila has the exact proportion of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms necessary ... to break down its molecular structure, resulting in solid diamond crystals of about 100-400 ...

Currently, diamond is regarded to be one ... nature and often used in jewelry display a cubic crystal structure, a repeating pattern of 8 atoms forming a cube with carbon atoms at its vertices.

Two carbon atoms are removed ... shooting from their diamond sources. That led the Dionne group to dig deeper. A diamond is a motley thing. Like most crystals, a diamond is composed of regions ...
