HOUSTON – (May 23, 2025) – Diamond is one of the most prized materials in advanced technologies due to its unmatched hardness, ability to conduct heat and capacity to host quantum-friendly defects.

Researchers discovered that instead of high-temperature annealing, growing an extra epilayer of diamond atop the substrate after ion implantation is enough to turn the damaged layer graphite-like.
