New Way of Making Diamond Nanothreads

Caption

Artist’s conception showing how guided diamond nanothread synthesis occurs when the starting material is compressed between the points of two diamonds. This diamond anvil cell is a frequently used tool for bringing matter to extreme pressures and Carnegie scientists have been pioneering leaders in deploying this research technique for decades.
