Around the world, diamonds continue to be in demand.
But still, those processes take a long time and require specific conditions…until now.
Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal atmospheric pressure, which could revolutionize the industry.

Plus, the components involved affect the diamonds' size, with the largest being around a cubic centimeter.
To achieve this, the scientists used a 9-liter chamber.
This was due to a previous find that gallium could catalyze the formation of graphenewhich is pure carbonfrom methane.

Indeed, with this blend, the team obtained diamonds from the base after just 15 minutes.
However, the process still needs work.
