Scientists create diamonds at room temperature in minutes.
An international team of researchers led by the Australian National University (ANU) and RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia said Wednesday they have created two types of diamond at room temperature by using high pressure equivalent to 640 African elephants balancing on the tip of a ballet shoe.
The researchers said they were able to create two types of structurally distinct diamonds -- one similar to those typically worn in jewelry, and another type called Lonsdaleite, which is found naturally at the site of meteorite impacts and is harder than most diamonds.
