Guided Diamond Nanothread Synthesis

Caption

Caption: The starting sample of pyridazine—a six atom ring made up of four carbons and two nitrogens—changes under pressure as diamond nanothread formation progresses. The first and last images show that there has been a permanent color change between the samples after thread formation. The images don’t show individual threads, but “bulk” samples of pyridazine during compression, each around 40 microns thick with 180-micron diameters. Credit: Samuel Dunning.
