Chemistry breakthrough called “diamene” could lead to incredible body armor no thicker than aluminum foil

When you think of body armor, no one would blame you for conjuring up images of knights clad in plate armor so bulky that they can barely move. Of course, it was a small price for them to pay for the protection it offered. Modern protective wear isn’t quite as bulky, but it’s not exactly […]

Scientists can track water deep underground by studying diamond impurities

Crystallized water impurities in diamonds offer the first solid proof that there are pockets of liquid water located deep in the mantle of the Earth, according to a report published in ScienceDaily. A research team from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) found a rare kind of crystallized water called Ice-VII inside diamonds that had come […]

Titanium biomedical implants being coated with diamonds to improve wear and resistance

Has the technology behind biomedical implants already reached its peak? Judging by the fact that there are still many instances in which people’s bodies reject their implants once they get them, it appears there’s still a lot of improvements that can be made. That’s exactly what one group of researchers from Australia’s RMIT (Royal Melbourne […]

New form of laser that can work in room temperature holds potential for space industry, quantum technologies

Lasers were invented at pretty much the exact same time as masers, but you don’t hear much about the latter nowadays. That’s because lasers became the worldwide standard for all sorts of industrial applications, while masers were simply far too impractical to be used in the real world. But now a group of researchers have […]
