The newly formed graphite interfaces help redistribute the destructive force, offering new pathways for engineering materials built to survive extreme environments.
Recent research revealed that when ultra-hard diamond composites are struck by projectiles travelling at hypersonic speeds, portions of the diamond rapidly transform into graphite within microseconds, working as highly efficient shock absorber.
