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 ...

We have been able to obtain electron and X-ray spot diffraction patterns from relatively perfect natural single crystals of graphite which have been brominated previously for periods of 2–60 h.

Subsequent research proved the graphite had turned into diamond. The Purdue researchers have named the process confined pulse laser deposition (CPLD). The research team confirmed that the structures ...
