Researchers Develop New Technique for Improving Properties of Diamonds

Researchers at the Carnegie Institution have developed a new technique for improving the properties of diamonds-not only adding sparkle to gemstones, but also simplifying the process of making high-quality diamond for scalpel blades, electronic components, even quantum computers. The results are published in the October 27-31 online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science.
