A diamond particle with dimensions of only a few nanometres.
you can't actually see them, because at roughly five nanometres long, nanodiamonds are invisible to the naked eye
Example sentencesExamples
Single nanodiamonds are forged in an explosion of TNT, the explosive hexogen, and water.
This vial contains about 60 quintillion (6 followed by 16 zeros) of these "nanodiamonds.".
Older than our Sun, those objects contain nanodiamonds that are remnants of the ISM.
The nanodiamonds would have to be produced near the quasar itself.
The microscopic nanodiamonds in Allende consist of roughly 1,000 carbon atoms each.
Raty and his colleagues calculated that quantum confinement doesn't exist in nanodiamonds, even down to sizes as small as two nanometers across.
He confirms, however, that nanodiamonds may one day prove important for technological applications.
To test whether such structures could exist in the real world, the team purchased a batch of nanodiamonds that had been created with high explosives and hit the particles with x rays.
In 1987, microscopically small fragments of diamond, called "nanodiamonds," were recovered from meteorites that predate the solar system.
