Ruby is a highly valuable gemstone found in nature. Its most distinctive feature is its brilliant red color, which is caused by the presence of chromium within the stone. Rubies are commonly used in jewelry because they are extremely hard and resistant to scratching. In terms of hardness, they are among the most durable gemstones, second only to diamond.How Are Rubies Formed?Rubies form deep within the Earth’s crust under conditions of extremely high temperature and pressure. These stones are ty

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a type of coating belonging to the class of amorphous carbon films and contains both sp² and sp³ hybridized carbon bonds. Structurally, DLC combines diamond-like properties such as high hardness and chemical inertness with graphite-like characteristics including exceptional lubricity and low coefficient of friction. This structural versatility enables DLC to be used in optical, mechanical, tribological, and biomedical applications.DLC films are classified based on th
