You don't need a 1 gram diamond though

BuckGalaxy — 12/20/2024 3:29:34 AM (archived)

The example I gave was 100 grams of carbon-14, which would be extemely small, so it would only need a very tiny diamond to encase it.

I have no expertise in this I'm just looking at the numbers. And the article indicated this was a workable possible technology.

        I would think a 1 gram (5 carat) diamond could contain a very large amount of carbon-14 - BuckGalaxy - 12/20/2024 3:47:06 AM
