This article discusses a novel process for creating diamonds from atmospheric carbon dioxide, as reported by the Daily Mail. The claims and details, including the undisclosed price, originate from the company Aether. We present this as an emerging technological development.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, this diamond was created using carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. The company says that this gas is a major cause of air pollution and that this precious gemstone can be created by utilizing it. The company claims that it is physically and chemically identical to a real diamond. The company has not disclosed the price of the diamond. Ryan Shearman, founder of Aether company, says that the world’s first quality diamonds have been created using air. Through this method, air pollution will be turned into precious diamonds.
The diamond was created in 4 stages. In the first stage, a reactor is used to separate carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere. The hydrocarbon synthesis process was completed using modern technology, and then the carbon dioxide was converted into hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons were then transformed into diamonds using chemical vapor deposition. Diamond crystals are created through a process in the lab, and then they are cut and polished.
