Since graphite—the dark material used in regular old pencils—and diamonds are both made from carbon, it’s technically feasible to turn the former into the latter. You just need to apply a little ...
"This video explains why diamond and graphite have different properties depsite both being made of carbon. Diamond has a giant covalent structure with strong bonds, meaning that there are no free ...
MSN: Molecular simulations uncover how graphite emerges where diamond should form, challenging old assumptions

Gizmodo: Researchers Found a New, Easy Way to Turn Graphite Into Diamond
NextBigFuture: ‘Direct writing’ of diamond patterns from graphite a potential technological leap
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 ...
EurekAlert!: Molecular simulations show graphite ‘hijacks’ diamond formation through unexpected crystallization pathways
Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...
If you draw with a pencil, you can tell how soft the graphite inside is. Pieces of graphite break off to leave the pencil mark. But can you imagine drawing with a diamond? Diamonds and graphite are ...
Diamond City Expansion (major expansion to Diamond City with many new NPCs, cells, buildings and more) That last one, the DC Expansion, adds so many new buildings, signs and billboards that the zone shown by bloodhound's photo is cluttered with many new visual obstructions, and there's no opportunity for pop-in.
