Scientists develop technique that can create diamonds in just 15 minutes - Science NewsScientists seemingly have developed such path-breaking technology, which may revolutionise the synthetic diamond industry over the coming years.
Physical chemist Rodney Ruoff of the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea published the study on April 24 in the journal Nature.
As of today, 99 per cent of synthetic diamonds are made using the high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) method. In this process, extreme conditions are used to convert carbon atoms into a diamond around a small seed or a started diamond.

Scientists develop machine that can read human thoughts, translate to text in real-time - Science...
This marks a significant leap in the brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, which can drastically change how we interact with machines.
It sounds magical and supernatural to have the ability to read someone else's mind. But it seems like science has already brought this surreal but also terrifying imagination to reality. Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) are claiming to have developed a machine that can read a human's mind and translate thoughts into text in real-time. The machine was found to have an impressive accuracy rate of 79 per cent.
To conduct the experiment, tiny electrodes were planted in the brains of two participants by the scientists. Then, the two participants were asked to silently say specific words.
Kevin Knuth, Professor of Physics at the University at Albany, said earlier this year that it's an idea that couldn't go wrong and that mini handheld nuclear reactors are already being patented.
A scientist has claimed that researchers are trying to build small "handheld" nuclear reactors to help lure aliens to our home planet. The idea is based on the long-held notion that aliens find it easier to detect nuclear reactors, radiation or weapons. Some media reports in the past have even linked UFO sightings to nuclear sites across the world.
"We were trying to figure out how we can lure UFOs and work out how to make contact," he was quoted as saying by Daily Star.
"We settled on the fact that UFOs have an interest in, and an ability to detect nuclear weapons – some of them underground, some of them in bunkers or in storage depots," he said.
"How do they do this? Are they using neutrinos, which are really hard to detect, or gamma rays? We don't know. But my colleague has developed a new technology which is basically a handheld lithium-powered nuclear-fission reactor, which he is now patenting," he told an audience.
He said that the plan is to design nuclear-powered UFO-observing equipment and then install it in the space.
He said while delivering a speech at the Sol Foundation in California earlier this year. However, the researcher failed to provide any more details about the plan.
