A new technique uses a pulsing laser to create synthetic nanodiamond films and patterns from graphite, with potential applications from biosensors to computer chips. “The biggest advantage is that you ...

THE recent communication in Nature 1 by J. Gibson directing attention to new extra lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of graphite led us to re-examine a number of photographs of purified ...

WHEN subjected to an atmosphere of bromine, graphite takes up bromine and swells, ultimately reaching a volume 55 per cent greater than its original volume 1. The mode of adsorption is said to be by ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...
