Studying a material that even more closely resembles the composition of ice giants, researchers found that oxygen boosts the formation of diamond rain. The team also found evidence that ...

With temperatures soaring to 2,400°C, its interior may consist largely of diamond, thanks to its carbon ... a deadly place with horizontal glass rain. A new study suggests Earth’s early years ...

such as acid rain and damage to the ozone layer. In contrast, diamond dust is chemically inert. Scientists have discovered that diamond particles would not cause stratospheric warming or other ...

But when researchers recently analyzed the pressures and temperatures for Jupiter's and Saturn's atmospheres, then modeled how carbon would behave, they determined that diamond rain is very likely.

Sulphur dioxide not only reacts to cause acid rain, but it could also be harmful to the ozone layer and weather patterns. Now, attention has turned to diamond dust which could potentially cool the ...
