Graphite also has a lower density (2.266 grams per cubic centimeter) than diamond. The planar structure of graphite allows electrons to move easily within the planes.

The film discusses the significance of carbon, highlighting its presence in 90% of known compounds and its various forms, such as diamond and graphite. It explains the atomic structure of carbon ...

Diamond and graphite are both allotropes of carbon; their vastly different properties come down to the way the carbon atoms are arranged (Image: Materialscientist, used under CC 3.0 by-sa) ...

The shock-induced transition from graphite to diamond has been of great scientific and technological interest since the discovery of microscopic diamonds in remnants of explosively driven graphite.

Arxiv – New Superhard Carbon Phases Between Graphite and Diamond. Technology Review – This work, like the other structural predictions, is entirely theoretical, relying on computer simulations based ...

Graphite squeezed between two diamond jaws at pressures of 170,000 atmospheres managed to produce a crack in the diamond. The atomic structure of the material remained elusive, however.

Are the diamond’s days as an indestructible substance numbered? Possibly. At about 170,000 atmospheres, scientists managed to use super-hard graphite to crack one in 2003, but the exact reason ...
