Growing Diamonds

Did you know that new methods have given the scientists the ability to grow diamonds through chemical vapor deposition. The scientists that are involved are from Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C. and instead of using high pressures like diamonds are formed naturally they use low pressures but 2,000°C. These new methods make growing a diamond much easier and less chance of turning the diamond into graphite. the method was published in the October 27 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The scientists have done this research so they can make better, bigger diamonds. This is bad because they have done this despite the GLOBAL ECONOMY CRISIS!!! Bigger diamonds will just be more expensive only for the rich. the only good thing those will be for making world records of the largest synthetic diamond, these are a waste of time and money they should spend that money on stopping global warming or Eco-city research or hydrogen powered cars.
