Featured paper
|
Scientists in Brazil have taken important steps in the development of two-dimensional diamond. In a paper by Nature Communications, a team led by researchers from UFMG reports experimental evidence (Raman) of the formation of 2D diamond obtained by the compression of two sheets of graphene, and proposes a formation mechanism based on calculations and computational simulations.
