HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 30 (TNSRes) -- Rice University issued the following news release:
Marrying two layers of graphene is an easy route to the blissful formation of nanoscale diamond, but sometimes thicker is better.
While it may only take a bit of heat to turn a treated bilayer of the ultrathin material into a cubic lattice of diamane, a bit of pressure in just the right place can convert few-layer graphene as well.
The otherwise chemically driven process . . .
