People #PrayForNigeria After Terror Attack Kills 32, Injures 80

By -
An explosion at a fruit and vegetable market killed 32 people and injured 80 others on Tuesday in Yola, Nigeria, according to the local Red Cross and Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency.

Officials believe militant Islamist group Boko Haram is responsible. In October, Boko Haram is also suspected of setting a bomb at a newly opened mosque, killing 27 people. Boko Haram has killed thousands over the last six years and is suspected of carrying out attacks in Chad, Niger and Cameroon in recent weeks.

Similar to the hashtag used after the massacre in Paris, #PrayForParis, people on social media are showing their support for the victims of the attack by using the hashtag #PrayForNigeria and adding a Nigerian flag filter over their profile pictures. This hashtag was also used after Boko Haram allegedly killed about 2,000 Nigerians earlier this year. People in the area are also using Facebook's safety check feature to notify their friends they're out of harm's way.

Scientists Discover New Form Of Carbon That Can Make Diamonds At Room Temperature

Scientists from North Carolina State University have discovered a new form of solid carbon, called Q-carbon, and it has some unusual properties: Q-carbon is ferromagnetic, harder than diamond, and glows when exposed to energy. These properties make it different from graphite and diamond (the other two possible forms of solid carbon, known as phases), and the researchers discovered that Q-carbon can be used to construct diamond structures at room temperature. To create Q-carbon, it's necessary to have two things: a source of carbon and a substrate, a material where the reaction can take place. The source is called amorphous carbon, where all the atoms are in a disorganized, irregular distribution. Coal is an example of amorphous carbon, while in this case the choice for the substrate was between sapphire, glass or plastic. The substrate was coated in a layer of amorphous carbon, and was then hit with a single laser pulse for about 200 nanoseconds, heating it to 4,000 Kelvins (3,726
