Paragraph 1: Summary
Paragraph 2: Reflection
____I choose this article because it is very interesting to learn about
because now something that is very hard and very breakable is now
bendable. _I learned that a diamond is very important in science
because it can storage data, bioimaging, it have more properties
than just being a girl’s best friend. We care because this new
discover can open in doors in how we can use more diamonds in
science not just something we wear on bodies. I agree with their
__In recent news a team of researchers in Hong Kong and
research.________________________________________________
Singapore have created a diamond with bendable needles. They
_______________________________________________________
created this new diamond by producing tapering, 300nm-wide
_______________________________________________________
‘needles’ of the material. They created the structures by etching
_______________________________________________________
them from thin films of diamond synthesized by chemical vapor
_______________________________________________________
deposition. Resulting in the pointed ends of these structures can
_______________________________________________________
bend without breaking when they are pushed with an indenter. This
_______________________________________________________
is important news because diamonds have lots of applications in
_______________________________________________________
research, and being able to tinker with its physical properties in this
_______________________________________________________
way could open up new opportunities in data storage,
_______________________________________________________
optomechanical devices and bioimaging.
