As much mystique as they've been given by companies with vested interest, diamonds are little more than lumps of carbon. In science applications, diamond is useful as a tough protective coating and for optical devices, but its relative rarity on Earth makes it difficult to get. Now, researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new way to convert carbon nanofibers and nanotubes into diamond fibers that can be performed in a lab more easily than existing techniques.
