This Machine Grows Diamonds
This crazy machine mimics the inside of the Earth to grow diamonds.
If you dig deep into the Earth’s mantle, you’ll enter hot, plastic-like rock filled with carbon atoms. These atoms are squeezed together over millions of years by the intense pressure down there.
On the surface, our machine uses powerful arms to squish carbon together. This speeds up the growing process from millions of years, to under a week…
But now, we have an even newer way to make diamonds. To see that, subscribe!
