New Method Can Create Diamond Film in Just 150 Minutes, No Need to Wait Billions of Years | TechNews Technology News

A groundbreaking new technology developed by the Korean Institute of Basic Science (IBS) has revolutionized the process of creating artificial diamonds. In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers introduced a method that allows for the creation of artificial diamonds in just 150 minutes, without the need for high-pressure work.

Traditionally, natural diamonds take billions of years to form under extreme high-pressure and high-temperature conditions deep within the earth. However, this new method utilizes a mixture of liquid metals to grow diamonds at a much faster rate. By exposing a liquid metal alloy to a methane/hydrogen mixture at atmospheric pressure and a lower temperature, diamond particles can be extruded in just 15 minutes, with a diamond film forming within 150 minutes.

The potential applications of artificial diamonds extend beyond luxury goods, as they are also used in scientific experiments to induce magnetic fields and explore subatomic particles. The research team has even found that high-quality diamonds can be grown by adjusting elements in the liquid metal alloy.

Moving forward, the team aims to expand the growth area on the surface of liquid metal and gold to produce artificial diamonds on a larger scale. If successful, this new technology could revolutionize the diamond industry, making the creation of artificial diamonds faster and easier than ever before. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in diamond technology.
