Meteorite diamonds could predate the solar system
Researchers report tiny diamonds in four meteorites that may be as old as or older than the solar system. The diamonds likely formed in a dying star's upper atmosphere before solar birth, carried by stellar winds, and later embedded when the star exploded. The find, detailed in Nature with colleagues at University of Chicago and more, could reveal stellar chemistry and future industrial diamond insights.
