From article, "New Substance Is Harder Than Diamond, Scientists Say
(The process of creating Q-carbon — which involves concentrating a very short pulse of laser light onto carbon — can produce minuscule synthetic diamond “seeds,” which can yield gems.
While the amount of diamond is tiny compared with the yield of traditional industrial techniques, the process can be carried out at room temperature and air pressure, the researchers say, meaning it could be easier to reproduce on a large scale than other methods, including one that has been drawing interest in Silicon Valley known as chemical vapor deposition.)
Me, "In a few years say good bye to diamond mines. If this process works as claimed your diamond on a ring will be made in a factory and not come out of the earth. It could definitely lower prices."
