Abstract Fluid-rich (cloudy/fibrous) diamonds host millions of micrometric fluid inclusions that can reveal the nature of diamond-forming media. Mineral inclusions in fluid-rich diamonds are nano to micrometric making structural and chemical characterization of the different phases difficult. Consequently, limited work has been done determining the pressures, temperatures and depths at which such inclusions form.

The opportunity to combine different nanomaterials into binary, or even more complex hybrid systems, has the potential of expanding the boundaries of nanotechnology, responding to the demand of tailoring, processing, and using functional nanostructures in critical application fields, such as nanobiomedicine, (1−5) biosensors, (6,7) quantum devices, (8) and soil/water remediation.
