Sliding into novel materials: A new frontier in material science

Paris, France (SPX) Feb 06, 2025 Can copper be turned into gold? While ancient alchemists pursued this elusive goal, modern science knows such a transformation requires nuclear reactions. However, some materials, like graphite and diamond, share the same atomic composition-pure carbon-yet differ vastly due to atomic arrangement. While converting graphite into diamond demands extreme heat and pressure, a more practical material
